5.0 out of 5 stars Thorough, organized, readable

The newest edition was assigned reading for a Master's level nutrition science course. I couldn't afford the newest edition, so I ordered this one, although I did rent the newest addition that was required reading. If you are buying/renting this book for a course, I highly recommend the digital version so that you can use the search function. I rented the newest edition as an e-book and purchased this edition as a hardcopy. I prefer to have hardcopies in my collection but to use ebooks during the class. I prefer to rent ebooks as well, vs. renting hard copies because I don't have the stress of keeping the textbook nice for three months.

This book is thorough (detailed) and provides the science behind nutrition in a logical and organized manner. It is quite readable, even for the lay person. This is a valuable reference book to have on your bookshelf if you are going to enter into a profession in nutrition science.

5.0 out of 5 stars this book might be the only reason I passed biochem

Studying metabolic biochemistry as 2nd year Dietetics. This book went into much finer detail than our lecture notes, which was apparently necessary, as I wouldn't have passed without it.
Fairly easy to read (although I had to use the internet to check some terms!). Wish I'd bought it earlier.

Like a lot of people, I get a lot of my nutritional information from the web, a lot of which is unreferenced and unreliable - so it's great to have this book handy to check that the 'facts' I am reading on nutritional websites are actually correct.

4.0 out of 5 stars Everything you could possibly need to know about metabolism is in this book.

I read this book for my macro- and micronutrient metabolism courses and felt it helped tremendously. It really made all the info my professors were cramming into 45 min lectures come together for me. I also found it really helped to read it out loud and use my hands to help me visualize which way things were moving in and out of cells and whatnot. Although it is great info, it is a science text, so it's easy for your mind to wander.

Before I started doing the assigned readings, I was failing the class, but once I cracked this baby open, I was a straight-A student once again. It also helps to have your chemistry book handy. It had forgotten what some of the chemical reactions were and why they mattered. Don't hesitate to stop and look up terms to get the full grasp of what is going on.

Now that I'm in the field, I still use this book all the time. It's way too much info for the average person to remember in detail months or years later, so I review concepts in this book often. I can't imagine the 6th edition has changed very drastically so I will wait until the 7th comes out before spending the money.

I also recommend buying the hard copy b/c you can now buy the Kindle edition for $9.99 or less IF you purchased the hard text new from Amazon.
