The Science of Nutrition: Debunk the Diet Myths and Learn How to Eat Responsibly for Health and Happiness (DK Science of)

Good balance of science and practicality!

I am a new cooker and lover of knowledge. I know the basics of nutrition such as the different types and calories per gram and things like that and I was curious to see if this would be like your typical college nutrition class book, but thought what the heck, I am getting into cooking its good to refresh and I might learn something new. I was amazed. I love the DK science of books because the graphics are so great and the authors make it feel like you aren't learning, and this book was no exception. It went into topics that I didn't even consider, and they were all super interesting. I highly recommend this book.Pros:-Very interesting-Great graphics-Book seems very durable-Thick pages-Easy to follow alongCons:-You won't want to put it down

Loved this book! If you want to know everything about nutrition- this book is for you. Great quality, nice colorful pages, easy read, great visuals. Highly recommend! I ordered 4, because I really loved it and will make sure my kids have a copy each.

I would recommend every one to read this book if you have interest to know more about nutrition. It has all the details which i was looking for. Tons of information with nice representations.

The print and image quality are quite good.Haven't gotten into reading it yet. But it looks like I have.Most of the scuffs and scrapes don't show unless lit from the right angle, which is hard to photograph. But the dinged corners and deep scratch, from the other things the distribution center put in the box with it, show rather easily.

My doctor recommended this book to me. It's all about how nutrition affects your body and mind, all the way down to the cellular level. I am a "visual learner", so the pictures are great! I can refer to the pictures while reading, making it so much easier to understand. There is a total of 224 pages, if you include the index.I took a picture of the Table of Contents, and a couple random pages, so you can see the topics included, and get a glimpse of the type of information it gives.I hope this book gets you on the road to a happier and healthier person.

Best nutrition book ever! It's fun and informative, and really changed the way I eat and look at food. I've lost weight after reading this just because now I know how to eat and why I need to eat it. I read this is under a week and immediately bought one for my grown kids. It should be taught in schools and everyone should read it. It give you the "why" on everything, why we need carbs, protein, sugars, and vegetables. So informative!

This book is very simple and complete, makes me aware of the nutritional benefits of a healthy diet! I liked it
