Synopsis

In his revolutionary book, Nutrition by the Numbers, Dr. Ramsden introduces us to the Global Nutritional Quality Index (NQI). This innovative tool promises to elevate dietary advice to an unprecedented level, and carry nutrition science into the 21st century.

This easily understood food rating system allows busy consumers to effortlessly apply worldwide advances in nutrition to their everyday lives. Though user-friendly, the science behind the the Global NQI is impressive and complex. Nutritional biochemistry and preventive nutrition are examined in light of evolutionary, historical and population-based perspectives.
