The Newer Knowledge of Nutrition

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'The Newer Knowledge of Nutrition' is a seminal work in the field of nutritional science, co-authored by the pioneering biochemist E. V. McCollum and Nina Simmonds. This comprehensive study explores the fundamental relationship between diet and health, synthesizing years of laboratory research and clinical observation. It delves into the then-emerging understanding of vitamins-substances McCollum was instrumental in identifying-and their critical role in preventing deficiency diseases such as scurvy, rickets, and beriberi.The book provides a detailed analysis of the dietary properties of various food groups, challenging prevailing notions about calorie-centric nutrition by emphasizing the biological value of proteins and the necessity of 'accessory food factors.' McCollum and Simmonds present their findings on the importance of milk, leafy vegetables, and whole grains in maintaining physical vigor and longevity. As a cornerstone of modern dietary science, 'The Newer Knowledge of Nutrition' offers invaluable insights into the historical development of biochemistry and public health. It remains a significant text for students of medical history, nutritionists, and anyone interested in the scientific foundations of healthy living.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
