If your instructor assignes page number to read get the hardcopy
The book is easy to use, but the page numbers do not line up with the hardcopy so if you instructor gives you a reading assignment you have to spend hours trying to figure out the cooresponding pages on the kindle. what a pain!

Dated nutrition and medical disinformation
This book is obviously written for an American audience, yet the authors use only metric calculations in height and weight (and everything else) and fail to to provide imperial/customary formulas e.g. Mifflin-St. Jeor equation. Like all other western/conventional medical knowledge, this book is decades behind what the research continues to reveal and promotes the stance of government agencies such as the FDA and CDC. Authors contend that glyphosate, aspartame, chemotherapy, etc. are harmless (Ch. 36) and fail to mention that permanent deafness is a potential side effect of radiation to the head (Ch. 36). I had to purchase this book TWICE because they released the 16th edition in 2022, just one year after the 15th edition. On a technical note, the kindle version and hardcopy version should have identical page numbers, but don't. Reading the kindle version is a pleasure and much easier to carry around compared to the hardcopy.

Perfect. Absolutely worthy
This book is quite pricey but delivers everything you need to know about nutrition. So the price is totally worthy. I bought it because I am a nutritionist and I needed to know more about nutrition and patologies and I found everything I needed in this book. After many years, I am happy I finally found a book that I can keep consulting throughout the years.
