Book Reviews of American Dietetic Association Complete Food and Nutrition Guide
Book Review: For dietetics students...too simple
Summary: 2 Stars
I had to buy this book for a class, but only used it once. It doesn't really contain THAT much information, and when one has to do research, this in not the best book to use as a reference. If you're not a student, I'd say it'll be very helpful, but for students...it is just too simple and doesn't get into the complicated facts about nutrition or dietetics we really need to learn. I already graduated, and I won't recommend this book as the reference for a major course in dietetics.
