Críticas

"It will be an essential resource for any scientist interested in knowing how what people eat affects their immune function and susceptibility to infection. I certainly enjoyed reading it and am better informed for having done so."--BJN "This book should provide an easy way for graduate students, as well as the rest of us, to update ourselves on recent advances in nutritional immunology."--American Journal of Clinical Nutrition
