My nutrition bible

As a Clinical Dietitian, this book has been helping me through my work with hospitalized patients and ambulatory patients. For every condition there is a nutritional answer. Especially excellent is the pediatric section, not available in many manuels. The book is written clearly and is well understood even for those whom English is not a mother tongue. The descriptions are brief, and for each dietary treatment there is a rational. Most recommended for professionals and can be helpful for non-professionals as well. Waiting for the updated edition.
