The updated 17th Edition of Whitney/Rolfes/Maier's bestselling UNDERSTANDING NUTRITION, presents the core information of an introductory nutrition course for majors, with active learning that prepares students for their future careers. An overarching goal of the text is to help readers learn to distinguish valid nutrition information from misinformation. In addition to providing accurate information, the text encourages readers to understand the connections between concepts, evaluate the pros and cons of an argument, detect inconsistencies and errors, solve problems and identify the relevance of information.

What's New

  • NEW HIGHLIGHTS: Highlight 1 expands its presentation of nutrition misinformation from social media and how it has influenced diet and diet culture in the U.S. Highlight 3 expands the discussion of gut microbiome and their impact on human health. Highlight 4 expands on more information on artificial sweeteners, different types of sugar on a food label and sugar addiction in relation to the gut-brain axis. Highlight 9 discusses the importance and principles of mindful eating and intuitive eating.
  • UPDATED HIGHLIGHTS: Every chapter is followed by a Highlight that provides an in-depth look at a current and often controversial topic related to its companion chapter. Information in each Highlight has been updated to the most recent research findings.

Features

  • THE LATEST RESEARCH: Continuing a tradition of cutting-edge coverage, the text has been thoroughly revised and updated to reflect current research and emerging trends.
  • CURRENT AND RELEVANT: The text introduces the nutrients and thoroughly explains their work in the body. Later chapters equip students to apply that information, describing the role of foods and nutrients in energy balance, disease and chronic condition prevention, food safety, hunger and the overall life cycle with the most current research findings.
  • EMPHASIS ON KEY CONCEPTS: Chapters open with Chapter Outlines and Learning Objectives to help the reader immediately focus on important concepts. Each Learning Objective has been updated with strong objective wording based on Bloom’s Taxonomy. All review features have been reformatted and updated into bullet points to facilitate the capture of key information in the chapter.
  • INCLUSION AND DIVERSITY: The text has been updated to be more inclusive for people with diverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds, covering things such as food items and images, weight-inclusive information and weight-neutral language.
