"Featuring the Lastest Evidence-Based Guidelines and Nutrition Research Nutrition is a dynamic field. This release has been carefully updated to reflect current scientific understanding, as well as the latest health and nutrition guidelines. And in response to feedback from students and instructors, we are excited to introduce several new and updated features-all designed to engage students and encourage more discussion in the classroom. Applying Nutrition on a Personal Level Throughout this release, we reinforce the fact that each person responds differently to nutrients. To further convey the importance of applying nutrition to their personal lives, we include many examples of people and situations that resonate with college students. We also stress the importance of learning to intelligently sort through the seemingly endless range of nutrition messages to recognize reliable information and to sensibly apply it to their own lives. Our goal is to provide students the tools they need to eat healthfully and make informed nutrition decisions after they complete the class. Many of these features can be assigned and graded through Connect to help students learn and apply the information and engage with the text"-- Provided by publisher.
