The quintessential guide to healthy eating and sound nutrition-completely updated and revised.

Praise for the hardcover edition:

"The interested and perhaps confused health information consumer can turn with confidence to this encyclopedia...a one-stop introduction to nutrition..."—Booklist

"...recommended..."—American Reference Books Annual

The Encyclopedia of Nutrition and Good Health, Second Edition is an authoritative A-to-Z guide to all aspects of nutrition and maintaining a healthy diet. The encyclopedia examines the latest advances in the field, including revised government guidelines and requirements-like the new folate enrichment laws, new research, and the discovery of a link between colon cancer and preserved meats but not fresh meats.

This edition contains more than 2,500 entries and approximately 30 percent new material, including several new appendixes. Concise and extensively cross-referenced, this volume is the perfect one-stop guide to the often-confusing mass of nutritional information available today.

Coverage includes:

• Food ingredients such as vitamins, minerals, fats, carbohydrates, and proteins
• The health benefits and dangers of foods
• Diseases and health disorders related to nutrition
• Processed foods and their side effects
• The link between certain foods and cancer
• Food allergies
• Eating disorders
• and much more.
