The only reason I gave this book 3 stars and not 5 is because I bought this book for my Nutrition course but it didn't not have the Diet Analysis software that I need for a class project. I returned it and purchased the package our campus bookstore offered.
Other than not having the software, it's actually a really good book. Each section has a key point at the end which summarizes what you've read; convenient for studying. Each chapter concludes with a Controversy section which goes into current controversies and scientific topics. If you take advantage of the companion website for this book you'll also find Chapter Summaries, Outlines, Glossary and Selft-Test sections. (Review Data Last Updated: 2008-09-30 07:34:58 EST)

My professor assigned this text for my first ever online course. I was worried that with out the lectures that I would have a hard time understanding the material and properly completing my assignments. I found this text easy to understand and very informative. I really enjoy the controverisies at the end of the chapters. It gives you a relatable aspect of what you just read.
