Product Description
NUTRITION: CONCEPTS AND CONTROVERIES, MYPYRAMID UPDATE TENTH EDITION focuses on nutrition principles and their application while offering outstanding coverage of the biological foundations of nutrition without assuming previous knowledge of them. With its new design, contemporary coverage, and engaging writing style, it remains the leading Nutrition text for the non-majors or mixed majors/non-majors introductory course. Drawing readers into the study of nutrition, the authors have created a number of learning tools that are both appealing and accessible. From the chapter content and new "Do You Ever…" sections to the "Food Feature" boxes and end-of-chapter "Controversies," students find the information they need to better understand important nutrition concepts and to make informed and responsible decisions about their own nutrition. Additionally, the "Do It" activities, now available online, on the student CD-ROM, and in a free booklet that can be packaged with the text, students can practice applying their nutrition knowledge. There is also the accompanying NUTRITION CONNECTIONS CD-ROM, a unique resource that includes animations, chapter quizzes, a comprehensive glossary, "Do It!" activities, and Web links. For instructors, we offer a newly redesigned Multimedia Manager that includes PowerPoint® slides, animations, videos, and test questions. We also offer a new JoinIn™ on TurningPoint®, a classroom resource to assess students' knowledge, take attendance, and more. So, whether looking for a text full of up-to-date information, a text that students enjoy reading, a text that offers a robust supplements package, or a text that can engage students and get them excited about studying, NUTRITION CONCEPTS AND CONTROVERSIES is the text for you! |

I read this book in my MS course for Nutrition and found it helpful 20 years ago. I was interested to see what new info was in the updated edition. It's good information to help sort out the myths from the reality in nutrition.

Nutrition Concepts by J. Hart (CA)  1 Stars
August 23, 2009
Puchased this book based on the description that it was in good shape. Not so - the book was well used with many notes (in ink) and hi-lited.
Worse was the shipping and arrival time. I ordered the book well ahead of a class beginning and it didn't arrive until the last week of class (5 weeks long)
Can't recommend this vendor

Great book. Bought it for HNF150 at MSU. I learned a lot from reading it and am implementing a lot of what I learned in my own diet and lifestyle.
