Nutrition and Health (PDF)

Continuing accumulation of scientific evidence demonstrates that
nutrition is one of the most important determinants of health for
the individual, and that specific nutrition habits of various
populations can significantly decrease the overall risk of several
chronic diseases.

This landmark publication, which contains papers presented at
the 1st Nutrition and Health conference, covers the major topics
relating to nutritional aspects of health. Chapters within this
important book cover vital health issues, including details of the
links between diet and cardiovascular disease, obesity, cancer,
diabetes and osteoporosis. Further chapters within Nutrition and
Health cover important nutritional issues, for example managing the
human gut flora, vegetarianism and the role of
phytoprotectants.

Each chapter has been written by a well-known expert, and the
whole has been drawn together and carefully edited, providing an
important reference resource for the future. All health
professionals interested or involved in nutrition and the impact of
nutrition on health should have a copy of this book on their
shelves, as should libraries in all medical schools, and
universities and research establishments where nutrition, dietetics
and food science are studied and taught.
