My professor assigned this text for my first ever online course. I was worried that with out the lectures that I would have a hard time understanding the material and properly completing my assignments. I found this text easy to understand and very informative. I really enjoy the controverisies at the end of the chapters. It gives you a relatable aspect of what you just read.
Rating: 5 / 5
Nutrition:Concepts and Controversies has clear wording and extensive descriptions for most of it’s subjects. It explains subjects in a way that is interesting and not just scientific. There are also controversy sections at the end of each chapter which give you both sides of current health arguments.
This book is very helpful outside of class too because there are many charts such as the DRI, UL and BMI that you can use the determine if you are getting adequate nutrients.
