Description
Coffee is good for you—or it's not. Eggs raise cholesterol, but lower blood pressure. High-fructose corn syrup is “fine in moderation.” Cheerios—or yogurt—can change your life. The news is filled with claims and counterclaims about miracle diets, foods, and dietary supplements. What should the consumer believe?

Reviews:
-"This reference for students in high school and up addresses seven controversial issues in nutrition: food irradiation, genetically modified food, vitamins and supplements, vegetarianism, organic food, food safety, and bands on fast food and junk food. Background chapters give a brief history of the study of nutrition and the future of nutrigenomics, outline basic principles of nutrition, and explain currently accepted principles of good nutrition for men, women, and children. A section of references and resources includes annotated primary source documents, a nutrition timeline, a directory of organizations, and a glossary. A few b&w photos are also included." —SciTech Book News
-"This guide gives non-biased answers to the questions of nutrition-related issues. . . . This volume is a good basic source for high school and older students as well as the general public who are interested in nutrition issues and the libraries that serve these readers." —ARBAonline
