Nutrition : A functional Approach was written with the student in mind. Instead of relying on rote memorization, Nutrition takes a functional approach that presents micronutrients in the context of their function, rather than by their classification. This approach helps learners organize the information and appreciate the science of nutrients, as well as better understand their role in the body and in overall health. This updated edition features new Canadian content, with a focus on the recently published Eating Well with Canada’s Food Guide . As well, this book presents cutting-edge research from the field and features more comprehensive end-of-chapter review material to help students get a better grade.
