Reviews / Votes
"...some of the most eminent practitioners in the field have contributed to this book, it is no surprise that it is an excellent and very exhaustive resume of the topic. Although a different author wrote each chapter, the skilful editing ensures that all the chapters are written in the same style." (Isabel Skypala, Journal of Human Nutrition & Dietetics, August 2002) "Questions on food allergy and intolerance, plus the answers (this chapter alone makes the book valuable - the complex questions are answered in a language that all can understand and interpret). A must-read for nutritionists, dieticians, medics and food scientists/technologists." (Food & Beverage Reporter 2004)More details
