 Some chapters poorly written; many technical inaccuracies October 26, 2008
NutritionDoc (Xenia, Ohio USA)
Hoping for the quality text that I purchased years ago, I updated my library with this edition. I could not be more disappointed with the writing, the inaccurate terminology (the term is ptyalism, not ptylinism - pg 182), many of the charts, and the review of drugs during lactation -- just to name a few.

Very clinical, yet not as difficult to read as it may have been. I particularly like the case studies because they provide a practical application of the material, so most concepts are not left abstract. Overall, it provides the best case scenario for this type of text.
I use this book extensively January 10, 2004

This book is the required text of my dietetics coursework time and time again and thus I use it extensively. At first I resented the very large and heavy book, but more and more I find myself turning to it for answers, even for things that aren't school-related. My university has a book rental program. Previously I'd only rented the book, but now, as I sit inbetween semesters, I find myself missing it terribly. The moment the bookstore opens I will be buying this book for keeps.pI give it four stars because it's cumbersome and dry, although on the positive side you can point out it's cumbersome and dry because it's such an exhaustive and scientific coverage of the subject.
 Good information for the Healthy ILL February 24, 2002

It is a book that will answer all your questions regarding Food, Diet and Nutrition exactly as its title suggests.brMy father is in a Presistant Vegigative State due to a massive hammerhadge, and thats what triggered me to look for a good book that will help me to deal with his special feeding requirment. Not only that I have found very valuable information concerning my fathers situation, but I also found excellent information for me and my wife so we followed a dietery program to loose some weight.brUnfortunatly in 'Kuwait' where we live,we have very limited sources of information regarding Food and Nutrition so we needed a reference book that explains every term and has all information needed in details such as the tables and calculating formulas and soforth. brIn my opinion this is 'a most have book', and in the field of Nutrition it is 'Second-to-non'.
Excellent! May 11, 2000

Krause's Food, Nutrition and Diet Therapy (eds; Mahan and Escott-Stump)10th ed is 1000% user friendly! Each chapter starts off with a glossary of terms in the ensuing pages which levels the learning field. Colorful charts on practical information are generously sprinkled in every chapter with clear illustrations on anatomy, energy reactions, and algorithms. You'll find lots of ah ha moments are you go through this book like I did. An example was the increased metabolic rate by adding spice to a meal! And the reference was also right there!pEach author's excitment and passion for the topic covered comes through the pages loud and clear. Cleverly colored boxes of strategically placed information capture your eye and your mind! Another example.. in Chapter 6 on Water and Electrolytes.. the percentage loss of body water and degree of disability associated with the same could not be made any more obvious.. and you just don't forget the message. pThis resource covers everything from herbal therapies and rationale to heart transplant and all points in between. Over 1150 pages to get the new Millennium off to a smart start! I already know this book will be among the most used in my professional library. It is highly recommended.p- Miriam Erick, MSRD, CDE, ACOG educational affiliate author: No More Morning Sickness (New American Library/Plume), Boston, MA.
