Advancing Medicine with Food and Nutrients

The first edition of this volume, entitled Food and Nutrients in Disease Management was praised for its practical, easy-to-use clinical applications presented by highly credentialed experts. This second edition reviews several new disorders as well as emerging themes uncovered by new research, including the body¿s increased demand for certain nutrients when faced with toxic exposures, food safety issues in patients with allergies and pre-existing medical conditions, and the effects of variables such as ultraviolet light, radiation, jetlag, and shift-work on nutritional needs. The book¿s chapters each conclude with a summary of clinical recommendations for the specific condition discussed.
