NTN201 – Medicine, Science and Applications

Guiding medicine toward an understanding of the scientific principles underlying what they know about medicine, this book helps them gain effective decision-making skills about nutritional choices.

Critical Thinking exercises included in each chapter allow them to learn the basics of how to think about a problem or situation creatively and critically. A case study is also included in each chapter that builds interest in the material. Each chapter then concludes with a postscript that solidifies the nutritionists’ understanding of the links
between the science and application.
