Description: Trace Elements in Human Health and Disease is a collection of papers presented at an international symposium on trace elements held in Detroit, Michigan on July 10-12, 1974. The symposium provided a forum for discussing the role of essential and toxic elements in human health and disease. These two volumes bring together a vast amount of information on trace elements zinc and copper, magnesium, selenium, fluoride, cadmium, lead, and mercury. They will be of great value to physicians, nutritionists, and toxicologists. A particularly interesting section relates to the leaching of important trace metals by excess dietary fiber in some developing countries. These books are one of the important monograph series published by the American Nutrition Foundation.
Notes: Includes bibliographies and indexes.
