Great Nutrition Book
I love the fact that this book covers all basic, yet so clear concepts of chemistry and physiology before getting into the nutrients. I do not necessarily care for all the guidelines by FDA and such in all the daily values of each macronutrients. However, I like how well organized each chapter in details and all the core information. Great book for a college course.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
