An introduction to nutrition and metabolism, this text explains the scientific principles underlying the interactions between diet and health. It offers concise analysis of the biochemistry which is fundamental to the science of nutrition, and explores the psychological need for food, and the role of diet in "diseases of affluence". It also provides detailed discussions of the problems of obesity and undernutrition. The first principles of chemistry are introduced, to provide a basis for consideration of the metabolism of nutrients, and of the structures of biologically important compounds. Clear diagrams illustrate the discussion of metabolic pathways and their regulation, while the metabolic and biochemical basis for nutrient requirements is fully explained.
