Advanced Nutrition and Human Metabolism (MindTap Course List)

Love having an updated version of this textbook. Very help resource for nutrition professionals or students!

Book came in excellent condition. The information is also great. I would recommend.

The 7th edition is the fourth edition of this book that I have purchased. It was the textbook I used when I took an advanced nutrition course years ago, and I haven't found a better one since then. Heavy on biochemistry from cover to cover. It is my recommended textbook for the Clinical Nutrition I course I teach, as well as a recommended reference textbook for the other more advanced clinical nutrition courses that I also teach (as part of a CNME doctorate in naturopathic medicine). If you want to learn advanced nutrition, this is the book as far as I am concerned - Jeffrey Sepulveda, N.D.

The content can be overwhelming but was absolutely necessary for my Dietetics class.

Arrived in a bubble wrap envelope. So during shipping, the corners got bent, and the hardback back flap got dented. So… not too thrilled about that. Otherwise, perfectly beautiful like new book. No spine wear. No notes or highlighting. Excited to use this for my up and coming grad course.

I bought this for a class in my Master's of Nutrition. Very thorough material and thoughtfully explained. I can say for once I like reading textbooks after reading this one.

This is definitely in the top 5 MUST have nutrition/biochemsitry books of ALL TIME!!! And this new edition has updated and amazing diagrams!!

I was disappointed in this book. As long as the authors stuck to the anatomy and the basic mechanisms, they were on solid ground. When they began discussing lipids, they went off the science and became surprisingly mealy-mouthed. Perhaps they felt safe sticking to the USDA Dietary Guidelines despite the total lack of science behind those guidelines, witness their barely mentioned treatment of ketone bodies. I found one hedged partial lie as well - "Some controversy..." on page 291. There is no controversy. The low-fat more exercise regime fails when in direct competition with the low-carbohydrate no exercise regime for exercise increases appetite. Then there's the 'Perspective" on atherosclerosis which never mentions sugar as the causative agent in cholesterol oxidation...a glaring omission.

Provides current, fundamental breakdown of all key elements involved in metabolism (ie vitamins, minerals, etc). The detailed metabolic interactions/pathways they follow, deficiency/excess levels and outcomes. Basically everything you could want to know. They continue to come out with updated versions as research provides further insight...which is good and bad because if you want the latest info, you have to update your purchase every 3-5 years. Still, worth every dollar.

This is a really great book on nutrition. It can be used as an introduction, but it much more comprehensive than most textbooks. It is a slim book but very well written and concise. Some of the information in the book is hard to get elsewhere.

As I am into nutrition and their relationships with human body functions in depth, this book is really good.

It's the book that connects the dots of how everything works together within us in an applicable and easy to understand writing style.

Christmas present, looks very professional
