Rating:
Summary: A detailed, in-depth, college-level text
Review: Compiled and edited by Roy Fuller Reading (a United Kingdom-based consultant in gut microecology) and Gabriela Perdigon Faculty of Biochemistry, Chemistry and Pharmacy of Tucuman University, Argentina), Gut Flora, Nutrition, Immunity And Health offers an up-to-date scholarly examination of the interrelationship between nutrition, gut microecology, immunology, and health. Collecting contributions from a wide diversity of international experts in the scientific field, individual chapters definitively examine the basics of intestinal microflora; the health benefits of probiotics and prebiotics; immune activation versus hyporesponsiveness and tolerance in the gut; the role of nutrition and immunity in the aged; management of food allergies, and more. Gut Flora, Nutrition, Immunity And Health is a detailed, in-depth, college-level text which is very highly recommended, especially for academic and professional Nutrition and Health Studies reference collections.
