The third edition also continues the integrated approach by incorporating health and disease, metabolism, cultural diversity, and life stage topics into each chapter.

The third edition continues this text's reputation of unparalleled currency among nutrition texts by including new and expanded coverage of the following topics: The Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs); nutrition and gene expression; regulation of body weight; dietary supplements; and environmental issues.
