Through simple language and well-structured organization of the chapters, Duyff delivers a vast load of information mostly based on the Food Guide Pyramid, a guide used to quantitatively approximate the proportions of food consumed by categories. The author covers the basics of food components to give a scientific/clinical basis for the nutrition guidelines suggested for good heath.
