Nutrition Concepts and Controversies, 11th Edition is “leading in excellence” through premium content and resources that focus on nutrition principles and their application while offering outstanding coverage of the biological foundations of nutrition without assuming previous knowledge of them. With its new design, contemporary coverage, and engaging writing style, it remains the leading Nutrition text for the non-majors or mixed majors/non-majors introductory course.

Drawing readers into the study of nutrition, the authors have created a number of learning tools that are both appealing and accessible.

Additionally, there is the new “CengageNOW” resource site that includes a variety of learning aids, including the unique “MyTurn” student video case studies, personalized learning plans, behavior change activities, animations, and so much more. This unique product can be packaged with the text at no additional charge and adds a great value to supporting the course objectives.
