Originally published in 1979, this book presents a coherent body of
information on the inter-relation between nutrition, health and
disease in its social context. The first section deals with
undernutrition. The socio-cultural and economic factors underlying
the deficiency diseases are discussed as well as the diseases
themselves and the precise role of nutrition in their genesis. The
problems of abundance are largely those of obesity,
atherosclerosis, hypertension, diabetes and cancer and these are
the main topics considered in Chapter 2. This chapter also
discusses and evaluates the evidence for incriminating fibre
deficiency in certain conditions. The final chapter gives accounts
of the links between the immune defence system and nutrition.
