Additional and updated features of this title

• True or False? Pretests open each chapter, posing true/false questions to help students recognize that what they think they know about nutrition isn’t always accurate. Answers are given at the end of the chapter, and true/false icons identify locations of answers within the chapter.
• Exploring Micronutrients incorporate photos, illustrations and text to present each vitamin and mineral. Each micronutrient discussion uses the same categories (forms, functions, daily needs, food sources, toxicity and deficiency symptoms) in a consistent and easy-to-study format that enables students to identify the key aspects of the nutrient at-a-glance.
• UPDATED: Increased coverage of current topics that interest students such as the microbiome and food waste have been added.
