| Summary |
"Vitamins have never been so popular, talked-about and controversial. They are essential for health and energy and to protect your body against many diseases. However, it doesn't mean that more is necessarily better. If you've ever wondered what you can believe in the debate about vitamins and vitamin supplements, this is the guide for you.In Vitamins, leading nutritionist Rosemary Stanton discusses each vitamin under easily identifiable headings and explains: what they do in the body; where they are found; how to preserve them in cooking and food preparation; the amounts required for your age and stage of life; the effects of a deficiency; possible problems of an excess; and current research findings." -- BOOK JACKET |
