The Science of Nutrition helps you master tough nutrition concepts. The thoroughly current and research-based text uses a functional approach which organizes vitamins and minerals based on their functions within the body and enables you to fully understand their effects on the body.

The 5th Edition includes the most up-to-date scientific research in nutrition, an increased emphasis on nutrition and disease, and margin icons directing you to Oregon State University's FoodHero.org. The text covers key concepts with new and updated Focus Figures and new Nutri-Case case studies.
