Food and Nutrients in Disease Management
"Dr. Kohlstadt has clearly targeted a very different audience. The book does an excellent job of achieving its goal, which (my words) is to educate medical doctors as to the evidence-based, biochemical underpinnings of food and nutrient therapy in addressing common health conditions. The book will be indispensable for medical students, and any allopathic doctor who wants to learn the science behind food as medicine. This will serve as powerful and comprehensive evidence to combat the oft-heard claim that "there isn't any science behind" food and nutrients as therapy. … This textbook will be on my shelf – the one arm's reach from my desk – as I know I will use it time and again to provide my clients the best approaches science has to offer."— American Nutrition AssociationAlthoughFood and Nutrients in Disease Management, edited by Ingrid Kohlstadt, is geared toward the physician, this book would be of utmost importance for nutritionists and anyone working in the alternative health field.
