This new fourth edition of the Nutrition and Diet Therapy Reference
Dictionary covers all aspects of nutrition, including assessment of
drug-nutrient interactions, laboratory interpretations, enteral and
parenteral nutrition support, community and public health nutrition
programs, nutrition throughout the life cycle, and such topics as
nutrition and the immune system, nutrition labeling, chemical
dependency, AIDS, and organ transplantation. Special features of
the Dictionary are entries on 130 different diets (listed under D);
nutrition therapy for more than 350 disorders, including inborn
errors of metabo lism; 145 drugs and their effects on nutrition;
and more than 150 nutritional products with their main uses and
composition. Of particular importance are topics of public health
concerns for the 1990s and the year 2000, and dietary
recommendations for prevention of major degenerative diseases such
as obesity, coronary heart disease, hypertension, diabetes
mellitus, and cancer. With more than 3000 carefully selected
entries, the new Fourth Edition includes 380 new terms and more
than 600 revised and expanded definitions. In choosing the words to
be entered and defined, the authors used as their criterion the
frequency of use or importance of a term in relation to nutrition.
Definitions are cross-referenced to other word entries and the
materials found in the Appendix to provide further details and
information. All practitioners in the fields of nutrition and
dietetics, as well as educators, students, and others interested in
nutrition will find this handy desk reference particu larly useful.
It is easy-to-use and provides instant access to nutrition
information."
