Current, comprehensive, and designed to maximize clarity of the concepts you need to know, longtime best seller ADVANCED NUTRITION AND HUMAN METABOLISM, SIXTH EDITION delivers its signature quality content in a student-friendly presentation. This text is accessible, with relevant examples, illustrations, applications, tables, and figures to emphasize key concepts. The authors have thoroughly updated the art for this edition by adding several new figures and improving accuracy and clarity of the existing ones. This text continues to set the standard through the authors' ability to clearly and accurately explain even the most complex metabolic processes and concepts. It's the only book written for undergraduates that consistently stays at that level. Providing thorough and detailed coverage, the text equips you with a solid understanding of digestion, absorption, and metabolism of fat, protein, and carbohydrates. It covers the biochemistry of vitamins, minerals, and energy nutrients. It also examines the structure and function of water-soluble and fat-soluble vitamins and their regulatory role in metabolism, looks at electrolyte and fluid balance, and covers the role of nutrition in the development or exacerbation of chronic disease. With ADVANCED NUTRITION AND HUMAN METABOLISM, SIXTH EDITION, you are well prepared as you continue your journey in the field of nutrition.

Since the first edition was published in 1990, much
has changed in the science of nutrition. But the
purpose of the text—to provide thorough coverage
of normal metabolism for upper-division nutrition
students—remains the same. We continue to strive for a
level of detail and scope of material that satisfy the needs
of both instructors and students. With each succeeding
edition, we have responded to suggestions from instructors,
content reviewers, and students that have improved
the text by enhancing the clarity of the material and by
ensuring accuracy. In addition, we have included the latest
and most pertinent nutrition science available to provide
future nutrition professionals with the fundamental
information vital to their careers and to provide the basis
for assimilating new scientific discoveries as they happen.
Just as the body of information on nutrition science
has increased, so has the team of authors working on this
text. Dr. James Groff and Dr. Sara Hunt coauthored the
first edition. In subsequent editions, Dr. Sareen Gropper
became a coauthor as Dr. Hunt entered retirement. In the
fourth edition, Dr. Jack L. Smith joined the author team.
Drs. Gropper and Smith have continued to devote their
efforts and time in coauthoring this sixth edition.
NEW TO THIS EDITION
All chapters of the sixth edition have been thoroughly updated
with new references, and many feature new or enhanced
illustrations. The presentation of the minerals has
been reorganized to centralize coverage of the electrolytes
with the discussion of fluid balance and to separate essential
from nonessential trace minerals. Scientific research
methodologies are now addressed in context within the
nutrient chapters.
