Reviews for Whole Grains and Health
"Overall, this book is a comprehensive and detailed reference guide to wholegrains and health, covering all the latest research as well as consumer and regulatory issues and opportunities for product development within the food industry. It should be a useful resource for nutritionists, dietitians and other health professionals with an interest in the health aspects of wholegrains; academic researchers, lecturers and students; and food technologies, as well as others working in the food industry." Nutrition Bulletin Vol. 32, Number 4, p. 413, December 2007 “The product is clearly written and presented, and the organization allows the reader to ‘dip in’ to find specific information when required. I therefore have no doubt that it will prove valuable … .The production quality is of the usual high standard expected of Blackwell Publishing, while an excellent index allows the reader to navigate … .I will certainly be referring to it a lot in relation to my own research and can thoroughly recommend it to readers with a broader interest as well as those researching on whole grain cereals.” Food Science and Technology
