Read this front to back before grad school This book provides essential nutrition basics. It is easy to understand and you can lift it without back strain. I bought it while midway through my graduate courses in nutrition, though should have read it before and used it as a reference during. | ||
advanced nutrition and metabolism yes well can anyone shed some light on what is the difference to this book and the international version other than the massive cost difference (nearly $100) is one hard back and the other paper back and or is the international edition have stuff in it that is not for public disclosure in the USA, eg you don't need drugs for a strong immune system or something like that i think both have the same amount of pages but am unsure. I live in australia and am tossing up what could be the difference between the two. | ||
amazon shipping sucks amazon shipping sucks. i ordered this book on the first day of class and didn't get it till the 4th week | ||
Metabolism I found explanations of the pathways to be OK. However, some of the information needed to be further explained and some of the information seemed to be contradicting. | ||
good purchase This product was delivered on time, in the correct packaging and it was the correct item that I had ordered. | ||
