First published in 1990, this book provides a broad coverage of the
subject of human nutrition. Starting with a discussion of the basic
chemistry or the major food substances it goes on to deal with the
digestion, absorption and metabolism of food and with the normal
and abnormal functioning of the major organs involved in
metabolism. The concept of a balanced diet is discussed in detail
and the special dietary requirements of various human groups are
considered together with the problems of over- and under-nutrition.
The final chapter covers the ways in which we deal with food from
production to consumption.
