Superficial, and full of misinformation 
I'm wondering who funded the creation of this ridiculous book ... I stopped wasting my time reading it after it informed me that pesticides have not been *proven* to be bad for you, nitrates don't actually cause cancer (don't worry about it...just keep buying!), artificial flavor chemicals and dyes are actually better for you than the compounds that flavor natural foods ... oh and it's fine to eat antiobiotics and growth hormones all the time (as long as people are *responsible* about how they apply them) ... Toxic sludge is good for you -- Don't waste your money -- complete garbage1

Understanding Nutrition 11ed 
Wonderful text for a traditional course, but too much information for a telecourse. Also makes a great reference text.

BEWARE!!!
If you are from the US, this is the wrong book. This book is based off dietary information from Canada. Therefore, it is the wrong information. I wish someone would have told me before I wasted over a hundred dollars; no one will buy it back because it was printed in Canada.

Nutrition Book 
This book was advertized as used-good condition. I can tell that this book had been opened, but it doesn't really show any wear or any marks or highlighting. It is in better condition than advertized!!
I orderd it on 8/5 and it was shipped on 8/6. I feel bad because the book was sold to me at a reduced cost and then it was shipped standard parcel post...much more expense than 'book rate.'
I will definately purchase college books through Amazon in the future. Thanks.
