See all formats and editions

This new edition of the Manual of Nutrition describes the major nutrients, their roles and sources, together with mechanisms of digestion and utilisation.

It outlines how this links to food and nutrition policy, providing a valuable contribution to the understanding of the role food plays in our health and wellbeing.

This edition covers similar ground to the previous editions but contains updated values for the typical nutrient content of commonly eaten foods as well as the nutrient intake of the population which has been estimated from recent research.

The chapter on energy (Chapter 5) has been updated to include new information from the Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition's energy report "Dietary Reference Values for Energy" (2011, ISBN 9780108511370).

Other updated information includes that related to iron, caffeine intake for pregnant women and recommendations on being active.
