Preventive Nutrition
The Comprehensive Guide for Health Professionals

The overriding objective of Preventive Nutrition: the Comprehensive Guide for Health Professionals
is to provide our peers, graduate and medical students, and knowledgeable professionals interested in
nutrition with relevant, data-driven reviews of the most objective, up-to-date evaluations of the role of
nutrition in health and disease prevention. For the past 20 years, we have developed fi ve volumes on
this topic and have provided 160 chapters contributed by over 200 of the most respected research- and
practice-oriented nutritional professionals, many of whom have provided their chapter for each of our
volumes. The volumes contain hundreds of tables and fi gures and over 100,000 relevant references.
Because our aim was to make this the “go-to” volume for our readers, we have included lists of relevant
books and websites
