Escrita por primera vez hace 20 anos por una de las autoridades mas reconocidas en medicina preventiva, el Dr. David Katz, Nutricion medica es el libro que todo medico y profesional de la salud de cualquier nivel necesita para ofrecer a sus pacientes un asesoramiento nutricional eficaz. Tambien ofrece la opcion, al estudiante de medicina, al especialista en formacion y al medico internista, de conocer a fondo el metabolismo de los componentes nutricionales mas importantes, asi como su influencia en diferentes situaciones clinicas. La obra, por primera vez redactada en colaboracion con otros autores de referencia, sigue siendo un manual practico, con un enfoque continuo en la importancia de la nutricion tanto en la salud como en la enfermedad. El texto se basa en tres premisas principales: relevancia clinica, con material ofrecido valido para el medico que interactua con un paciente; consistencia de aplicacion, con pautas uniformes que puedan aplicarse de manera universal para promover la salud; y evidencia cientifica, con los datos mas actuales y consensuados por expertos. Para este cometido se ha contado con la participacion de importantes colaboradores con experiencias variadas en educacion medica, nutricion medica, dietetica, salud publica, epidemiologia nutricional y medicina preventiva. La obra se organiza en siete secciones: metabolismo de los nutrimentos de importancia clinica, tratamiento nutricional en la practica clinica, aspectos especiales de la nutricion clinica, alimentacion y promocion de la salud, principios del asesoramiento alimentario eficaz, temas contemporaneos sobre nutricion y, por ultimo, apendices y materiales de consulta.
