Updated with the most current research, this text uses a clear, student-friendly writing style that makes content approachable but not oversimplified. The emphasis on active learning and critical thinking both in the text and the "Interactive Learning Guide" allows instructors to design an interactive environment regardless of class size or format (in classroom or online). NUTRITION NOW, 6e, International Edition offers a flexible option to meet your course needs that will get your students excited about the science of nutrition.
