Nutritional Biochemistry takes a scientific approach to nutrition. It covers not just "whats"--nutritional requirements--but why they are required for human health, by describing their function at the cellular and molecular level. Each case study either leads to a subsequent discovery or enables an understanding of the physiological mechanisms of action of various nutrition-related processes. The text is "picture-oriented" and the commentary is directed towards explaining graphs, figures, and tables.

Nutritional Biochemistry includes a discussion of relevant aspects of physiology, food chemistry, toxicology, pediatrics, and public health. Experimental techniques for nutritional science are emphasized, and primary data is included to help give students a feel for the nutrition literature. This "real-world" approach provides students with a realistic view of the basis for much of our understanding of nutritional biochemistry.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is superb and 5 stars doesn't do it justice!

If i knew someone who wanted an all-encompassing text that would take them from early stage nutrition to post-graduate level, then I would have no hesitation but to recommend this book. There are several texts that cover this subject but none do it with style and insight that this author possesses. It is a weighty tome but then again what do you expect if you want an A-Z on a subject as important as nutrition?

I just loved reading through this book. I've been interested in the subject for 30 years plus the rest, but I have rarely found a book as clear in its direction as Brody's. The author is a very knowledgeable writer and asks the reader to think about the subject from the inside out.

Biochemistry knowledge is probably a key to health and understanding all the nutritional headlines as promoted by the media. So few individuals realise this, or perhaps shy away from the subject because of its complex mix of chemistry, physics and biology. Not in everyone's comfort zone....

Nutritional Biochemistry is a comprehensive guide to the territory that Nutritional Science covers. You can safely invest in this exceptional book and start or continue your journey to understanding what health and 'optimal' health is all about.
