Nutrition: Concepts & Controversies, Cengage International Edition

About this book

Feel confident in your food choices and live a healthier life with "Nutrition: Concepts and Controversies, Cengage International Edition." More conversational than a pure-science text, this book explores the essentials of nutrition, including how the body breaks down and uses food, food safety, sports nutrition and special nutritional needs throughout the human life cycle. It discusses relevant topics that are important to students such as the diet and wellness industry, the safety of supplements, genetically modified foods and "keto" and "paleo" diets. Learn how to sort fact from fiction in the current information age. The text is available with the MindTap learning platform, which offers self-quizzing and activities to propel your learning from memorization to mastery.
