| Oxford University Press 2005 296 pages | ||||
| Hardback 0192806610 | ||||
| Published Price £18.99 | Our Price £6.99 | |||
| 'The history of nutritional science is full of fascination and drama,' writes Professor Gratzer, '...Scholarly rigour offset by pig-headed perversity, noble principle by shameless roguery, self-sacrifice by opportunism'. From the ancient doctrine of humours to the current fear of cholesterol that has 'supplanted the devil', this absorbing history traces the progress of nutritional science and its heroes and villains - the fads and quacks as well as the advances of scientists such as Boerhaave and Lavoisier. | ||||
