Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Nutritional Health
Norman J. Temple · 2012
76/100
👍 Worth It
Temple, Wilson, and Jacobs have assembled a genuinely useful multi-disease prevention reference that physicians and dietitians can turn to when they need an integrated evidence summary across cardiovascular, cancer, diabetes, and aging domains. Multiple subsequent editions signal that the academic market keeps finding it worth updating, which is the best endorsement a specialized reference can have. The 2012 edition will lag on microbiome and precision nutrition, so treat it as a solid foundation and supplement with current literature.
