Omschrijving

You are what you eat ... and you should eat brilliantly!

Your fitness, health, and well-being depend on food and proper nutrition. Yet, knowing what is in the foods we eat, learning which foods are good sources of vitamins, or understanding the effectiveness of different diets can be challenging. To help answer these questions there's The Handy Nutrition Answer Book. Covering everything from the pros, cons, and effectiveness of diets to practical eating advice, this entertaining and informative book brings the complexity of food and healthy nutrition into focus through nearly 900 well-researched answers to common questions such as ...

It explains how to read food labels, what to watch for in food additives, and it also includes a helpful bibliography and an extensive index, adding to its usefulness.
