Review: Clear, Evidence-Based, and Refreshingly Unbiased - The Science of Nutrition is exactly what I’ve been looking for—a fact-based, visually engaging guide that cuts through the noise of trendy diets and conflicting nutrition advice. It’s written in a way that’s both accessible and science-backed, which is a rare (and very welcome) combination these days. What I love most is how the book presents complex information in a clear, digestible format. It breaks down macronutrients, vitamins, metabolism, and food groups with stunning visuals and straightforward explanations. Even topics like gut health, sugar, and intermittent fasting are handled without sensationalism—just honest, research-driven insights. It’s not about pushing one “perfect” diet or demonizing specific foods. Instead, it gives you the tools to make informed, balanced choices based on your body’s needs and personal goals. I’ve already found myself making smarter grocery decisions and feeling less stressed about food in general. Whether you're new to nutrition or just tired of the diet culture rollercoaster, this book is a refreshing, empowering resource. A must-have for anyone who wants to truly understand what they're eating—and why it matters.
Review: A Friendly and Helpful Introduction to Nutrition - This work offers a picture-book approach to the complex subject of nutrition. For purposes of introducing the topic, I think the book does an outstanding job. But be advised, this is not a textbook. Nor does it reference scientific studies or scholarly research. The book simply outlines and highlights the basic principles of nutrition without taking a dive deep into the biochemistry. As an introductory book, it was exactly what I wanted. I purchased two very similar books by the same publisher: How Food Works (2017), and The Science of Nutrition by Rhiannon Lambert (2021). Both books seek to explain basic principles of nutrition in a friendly, picture-oriented format. I do appreciate the pictures. When exploring a new and technical subject, graphics help me understand concepts more readily. I use the two nutrition books together. I look up a word in the index (example: triglycerides) and read up what each book says about the subject. I wouldn’t say one book is “better.” I find it beneficial to have two different explanations about a technically complex topic. Sometimes, though, it seems neither book answers all my questions. After reviewing what these books say, I sometimes pose my questions to google, and the AI Overview response has been pretty helpful. I recommend both books, each of which I feel is reasonably priced for their intended purpose. I only wish the books came with a glossary.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well worth the buy and read
*by B***R on December 24, 2025*

This is an awesome book! So full of interesting info. Great and easy to read graphics. It’s laid out well, and the author doesn’t just use a lot of words for words sake, she states the facts in an easy to read manner. Highly suggest.
