"This important and timely book comprises the comprehensive and authoritative independent report of the British Nutrition Foundation Task Force on the link between emerging aspects of diet and cardiovascular disease, a major cause of early death and disability." "Dietitians, nutritionists, general and family practitioners, cardiologists, cardiovascular specialists, community nurses, and personnel in the food industry involved in product formulation, production, labelling of packaging and marketing will find this a valuable reference, as will lecturers, undergraduates and postgraduates in nutrition, dietetics, food science and medicine. Libraries in all research establishments, commercial organisations, medical schools and universities where these subjects are studied or taught will also find this an important addition to their shelves."--BOOK JACKET.
