Not useful for me by J. Brown (Arizona)

November 13, 2007
This book is entirely research articles and graphs from those articles. I was looking for something for everyday reference to assist me in teaching a renal diet. This is NOT that kind of book. That is why people are not keeping them after their course and are instead selling them for only $6. They just want to get rid of it becuase it is not helpful.
