"...some of the most eminent practitioners in the field have
contributed to this book, it is no surprise that it is an excellent
and very exhaustive resume of the topic. Although a different
author wrote each chapter, the skilful editing ensures that all the
chapters are written in the same style." (Isabel Skypala,
Journal of Human Nutrition & Dietetics, August
2002)



"Questions on food allergy and intolerance, plus the answers
(this chapter alone makes the book valuable - the complex questions
are answered in a language that all can understand and
interpret).

A must-read for nutritionists, dieticians, medics and food
scientists/technologists." (Food & Beverage Reporter
2004)
