    Edited for

This unique text is designed primarily for qualified and student
dietitians, but will be of interest to doctors, medical students,
nurses and others interested in dietetic care.  By drawung upon
the expertise and practical experience of members of the diettetic
profession, a reference manual has been devised which provides
accurate  information on every aspect of therapeutic dietetics.
as well as supplying the essential practical details needed to deal
with all the familiar nutritional problems, the manual also provides
much guidance on areas which, until now have been poorly
documented or controversial.
