I'm currently in naturopathy school and this is on of our books we use. It has wonderful information. Unfortunately, I bought this book for my kindle and is extremely hard to navigate using my kindle. It only offers location, not page. The glossary is useless, because you cannot go to what you just looked up. No page or location number. Hopefully whom ever published this book for the e readers makes the change to add page number look up and page number or location in the glossary.

Product description
Review
The 5th edition of the Nutrition Almanac brings current a nutrition reference tool first published in 1973, when nutrition resources on this topic were nearly non-existent. Nutrition Almanac quickly became the go-to source for authoritative data on macro- and micronutrients. This most recent edition takes the Almanac in a different direction, perhaps reflecting stronger competition in the nutrition sourcebook arena. Readers will find the data section, "Diet and Food Composition," still provides the standard information--calories, protein, carbohydrate, and fiber, plus the micronutrient breakdowns per item. Entries are grouped by type of food group (e.g., dairy and eggs, fats and oils, fruits and juices, grains). Other major sections cover nutrients and what each contributes to a healthy body; health conditions and the recommended nutritional responses for addressing each; and an overview of food groups. New to this edition is a separate section focusing on alternative medicine and therapies (for example, aromatherapy, energy balancing, meditation, and hypotherapy). In addition, alternative-therapy options are interwoven throughout the entries for health conditions... American Reference Books Annual 20040317

5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Must-have Book on Nutrition!
Format: KindleVerified PurchaseThis book has helped me a lot for the past fourteen months, especially in the area of dealing my hyperactive thyroid and the constantly bleeding haemorrhoids. I didn’t use prescription medication or allow any other medical interventions at all but invented my own nutritional plans using the knowledge gleaned from this book. Those two health problems were a thing of the past now. Good natural nutrition provides the body with sources and resources of what the body requires to keep well and be in good health. Eat well/healthily and give it time, a potentially threatening health problem will eventually go away. I strongly recommend this book to people who want to acquire base knowledge on nutrition and who want eat healthily and have a good healthy well being. An excellent must-have book on Nutrition!

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't waste your money. This is a PARTIAL copy-paste of John Kirschmann original book
Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI don't get it. This Kindle book is a PARTIAL copy of the original book by John Kirschmann ( also for sale right here in Amazon). Lavon Dunne appears to have just selectively "copy-paste" a TEENY PORTION of the extensive formation in Kirschmann's much-more-complete book, and is selling to unsuspecting persons here. Example: Kirschmann's book (by the same title) has around 8 paragraphs (a whole page) on Niacin. Dosages, toxcicity, metabolic functions, etc. The same topic by Dunne has less than 6 sentences! The misrepresentation is obvious within 2 minutes of comparing these. It's unfortunate that Kirschmann's much-better-version (the original) is only available in print not Kindle. But that's no reason to buy this Dunne version -- an absolute waste of money, and will only give you maybe 1/20th (one-twentieth!) of the info by the same book title to Kirschmann. To wrap it, I immediately applied for a refund to Amazon for this Kindle Dunne book. DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK-- There, I've done by civic good deed for the day - to shout the alarm about this misrepresented book by Dunne.
