Reviews

'A scholarly and balanced overview of the literature and a treasure trove of information for those wanting to take a deep dive into diet and health.' Dana Small, Yale University, USA 'This book provides a highly detailed and authoritative look at the role of diet on mind and brain. While the focus is very much on human nutrition, the authors bring in relevant animal research when trying to understand mechanism.' Charles Spence, University of Oxford, UK '[the book] should certainly be a staple in the personal library of all translational nutrition science scholars … Highly recommended.' E. M. McKinley, Choice
