Nutrition: A Reference Handbook (Hardcover)

The information presented here has never previously been available in a single reference work, but has been scattered in a wide variety of sources, including the literature on nutrition, food science and technology, labelling legislation, biochemistry, physiology, clinical medicine and paediatrics.

The information is arranged in the following sections: *body composition and anthropometry *growth and development *energy nutrition and physiology *overwei
