Advanced Nutrition and Human Metabolism 7th Edition

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

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.

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.

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.

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

Was in great condition! I had no problems with anything.

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.
