,The Nutrition and Health series has an overriding mission in providing health professionals with texts
that are considered essential since each is edited by the leading researchers in their respective fields.
Each volume includes: 1) a synthesis of the state of the science, 2) timely, in-depth reviews,
3) extensive, up-to-date fully annotated reference lists, 4) a detailed index, 5) relevant tables and
figures, 6) identification of paradigm shifts and consequences, 7) virtually no overlap of information
between chapters, but targeted, inter-chapter referrals, 8) suggestions of areas for future research and
9) balanced, data driven answers to patient/health professionals questions which are based upon the
totality of evidence rather than the findings of a single study.
Nutrition and Health is a major resource of relevant, clinically based nutrition volumes for the
professional that serve as a reliable source of data-driven reviews and practice guidelines.
