Like new. Minor wear to corners of cover. Remainder mark on bottom. Pages are clean and bright.

Synopsis:

Drawing upon 842 indexed journal studies from the fields of cell biology, toxicology, immunology, neurology and genetics, Environmental Nutrition offers a molecular-level understanding of the link between environment, food quality, and disease. A core section of the text provides a comprehensive survey of toxic substances in the U.S. food supply, followed by a step-by-step analysis of their biochemical impact on body function. The challenges posed by food toxicity at the level of public policy, food supply dynamics, biogeochemical cycles, and medical philosophy are carefully reviewed in a concluding section. The text also includes a series of detailed historical highlights that place current nutritional issues into a broader and more meaningful context. (304 pages).
