, The Nutrition and Health series has an overriding mission in providing
health professionals with texts that are considered essential since each is
edited by the leading researchers in their respective fields. Each volume
includes: 1) a synthesis of the state of the science, 2) timely, in-depth reviews,
3) extensive, up-to-date fully annotated reference lists, 4) a detailed index, 5)
relevant tables and figures, 6) identification of paradigm shifts and
consequences, 7) virtually no overlap of information between chapters, but
targeted, inter-chapter referrals, 8) suggestions of areas for future research
and 9) balanced, data driven answers to patient/health professionals
questions which are based upon the totality of evidence rather than the
findings of a single study.
Nutrition and Health is a major resource of relevant, clinically based
nutrition volumes for the professional that serve as a reliable source of data-
driven reviews and practice guidelines.
