Description: Evidence overwhelmingly supports the theory that diseases such as heart disease and cancer are directly linked with dietary practices. As a result, the nutritional practices of populations and communities have become areas of intense interest to public health professionals. Focusing on the diverse Hispanic population in the United States, this timely volume reviews sociodemographic data, migration patterns, and economic, and nutritional situations.
