Nutrition and Health Series

The great success of the Nutrition and Health Series is the result of the consistent
overriding mission of providing health professionals with texts that are essential
because each includes: 1) a synthesis of the state of the science, 2) timely, in-depth
reviews by the leading researchers in their respective fields, 3) extensive, up-to-date
fully annotated reference lists, 4) a detailed index, 5) relevant tables and figures,
6) identification of paradigm shifts and the consequences, 7) virtually no overlap of
information between chapters, but targeted, inter-chapter referrals, 8) suggestions
of areas for future research, and 9) balanced, data-driven answers to patient as well
as health professionals questions which are based upon the totality of evidence
rather than the findings of any single study.
