Editorial Reviews

Booknews
Compiles the latest information from investigations that were initiated by the US military in the 1950s. Updating the 1974 edition he co-authored, Sauberlich (nutrition sciences, U. of Alabama- Birmingham) describes tests for water-soluble, fat-soluble, and quasi- vitamin vitamins; minerals, among them body electrolytes, macrominerals, and trace and ultratrace elements; protein-energy malnutrition; and essential fatty acid deficiencies. For some substances and conditions, he reports the results of tests rather than set out the procedure of how to conduct any particular one of them. Annotation c.
