W elcome to the first edition of Nutrition Essentials.

Nutrition Essentials takes students on a fascinating journey, beginning with curiosity and ending with a solid knowledge base and a healthy dose of skepticism for the endless ads and infomercials promoting new diets and food products. We want students to learn enough about their nutritional and health status to use this new knowledge in their everyday lives.

The new standards emerging in the science of nutrition inspire us to provide comprehensive, current, and accurate information on the most pressing issues. For example, you will find a focus on the obesity epidemic and the challenges that the nutrition community is taking on to help resolve this chronic problem. Overall, you should find the organization and features similar to our book Nutrition, Seventh Edition, and within this framework, we present key topics and issues using the most recent information available. Our goals in writing this book can be stated simply as follows:

• To present science-based, accurate, up-to-date information in an accessible format
• To involve students in taking responsibility for their nutrition, health, and well-being
• To instill a sense of competence and personal power in students

The first of these goals means making expert knowledge about nutrition available to the individual. Nutrition Essentials presents current information to students about topics and issues that concern thema balanced diet, nutritional supplements, weight management, eating to reduce risk of chronic illness, and a multitude of others. Current, complete, and straightforward coverage is balanced with user-friendly features designed to make the text appealing.

Our second goal is to involve students in taking responsibility for their nutrition and health. To encourage students to think about the material they are reading and how it relates to their own lives, Nutrition Essentials uses innovative pedagogy and unique interactive features. We invite students to examine the issues and to analyze their own nutrition-related behaviors.

Our third goal in writing Nutrition Essentials is the most important: to stimulate a sense of competence and personal power in the students who read this book. Everyone has the ability to monitor, understand, and affect their own nutritional behaviors.
