His 30-year career as a biochemist has closely followed the arc of discovery and innovation in the field of nutrition, including recent breakthroughs in understanding how the human body is optimally fueled and maintained.Containing over 2,500 entries written in clear, concise language, extensive cross-references, and a comprehensive index, The Encyclopedia of Nutrition and Good Health is a detailed, thoroughly researched reference work that renders the current, and often confusing, explosion of nutritional information accessible and manageable.
