"A healthy diet should include a wide variety of nutritious foods, including plenty of breads and cereals, vegetables, legumes and fruit, low-salt foods and small amounts of foods which contain added sugars. Consumers have a huge variety of foods to choose from, but are often bewildered trying to determine their nutritional value. Food and Nutrition explores the types of foods eaten by Australians, how to promote healthy eating habits, and food safety and labelling issues. Weight management, digestive health, food additives, processed food, food allergies and intolerances, organic foods, GM foods ... this book contains plenty of helpful facts on food for thought."--Provided by publisher.
