About this title

Synopsis

THE CHOICE GUIDE TO VITAMINS AND MINERALS

Do you get your daily vitamins?

Do you need to buy vitamins and minerals in supplement form to top up the ones you can get from food?

Do megadoses mean mega-health?

We do worry about our vitamin intake, and we spend millions of dollars on food supplements each year. But is this necessary, or are we caught up in the advertising, myths and rumours that abound about vitamins and minerals? The CHOICE Guide to Vitamins and Minerals examines the issues and explains the truth about these essential food components.

Covering topics like: the best food sources of vitamins; the risks if you eat too much or too little of a vitamin, and answering the commonly asked questions (eg does vitamin C cure a cold? Will vitamins help you cope with stress?), this revised edition of The CHOICE Guide to Vitamins and Minerals is a 'must-read' for all health concious Australians.

Rayner Soothill, MSc, is a science writer and former CHOICE journalist.
