About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
“A. Stewart Truswell has written a very informative and at the same time entertaining and highly readable account of the nutritional epidemiology of CHD … . I would strongly recommend this book … . also be of considerable interest to epidemiologists, nutritionists, and public health scientists who are attempting to study nutrition and other diseases. … Most importantly, this would be an extremely good book to … research colleagues who doubt the value of good nutrition epidemiology research in the public’s health.” (Lewis H. Kuller, American Journal of Epidemiology, Vol. 173 (9), 2011)Authors and Affiliations
