A functional approach moves students beyond memorization
The Science of Nutrition helps students master tough nutrition concepts. The thoroughly current and research-based text uses a functional approach which organizes vitamins and minerals based on their functions within the body and enables students to fully understand their effects on the body.
The 5th Edition includes the most up-to-date scientific research in nutrition, an increased emphasis on nutrition and disease, and margin icons directing students to Oregon State University's FoodHero.org. The text covers key concepts with new and updated Focus Figures and new Nutri-Case case studies.
