Nutrients A-z

Today, with manufactured foods and commercially farmed produce offering less in the way of nutrition, people are more concerned than ever with the intricacies of maintaining a balanced, healthy diet. In this third edition of Nutrients A to Z, nutritionist Dr. Michael Sharon offers a complete, easy-to-use, A-Z reference for every nutrient you might encounter in the bewildering minefield of food and health products. From the most common everyday foods right up to the most recent developments in nutritional supplements, each entry provides: the food or nutrient's origins; its available forms; ways to prepare and enjoy it; as well as its benefits, medicinal properties, and recommended daily dosage. Dr. Michael Sharon is Israel's leading expert on nutrition; he is the author of Complete Nutrition.
