Abstract: An authoritative reference and guidebook for the general public presents strategies for making nutritionally sound food decisions. The text material addresses consumers who have little or no background in chemistry or biology, and covers the nature and function of nutrients, the way the body utilizes nutrients, and the consequences of not attaining or of exceeding nutrient recommendations. Practical applications are presented throughout the text and major US nutrition issues and nutrition guidelines are described and evaluated. The 14 text chapters cover such topics as good selections; energy and weight control; the characteristics and in vivo function of macro- and micro-nutrients; food processing quality; and food cost-selection decisions. Sixteen nutritional and anthropometric data tables are appended. (wz).
