ReviewsThis workcomprehensively reviews the role nutrition and dietary guidelines play in US public health initiatives... This is an excellent text to gain basic cross-knowledge of two intersecting fields; nutrition students will learn from the chapter on epidemiology, while public health professionals lacking a clinical background may benefit from the chapter on clinical complications (e.g., diabetes). This work is highly recommended for public health students and professionals, nutrition students, and other social sciences students. --S. Leslie, Georgia State University Summing Up: Highly recommended. Lower-division undergraduates and above; faculty and professionals. - CHOICE
