Here at last is a dictionary that puts thousands of current nutrition terms at your fingertips.
Written in plain English, this comprehensive dictionary covers all aspects of nutrition, from
medical terms to basic foods to such diverse dietetic practice areas as research, communications,
and private practice.
One difference you will find with definitions in this dictionary is that they are rarely one sentence long.
Charts, tables and illustrations are used to increase understanding and give additional information in a format that is
quick and easy-to-use.
Definitions for terms that encompass practical nutrition topics (such as The Food Guide Pyramid), nutrients
(such as fat), and nutrition and disease (such as cardiovascular disease), are given in special
feature boxes.
