It's handy having it on your book shelf, even if just for looking up things like how much fiber and potassium in a banana.

Are You Eating Right? Compare Your Diet to the Official Recommendations Using the Nutrient Content of 5000+ Foods

Diets & Weight Loss

Basic information in the life sciences. What nonscientists -- and scientists -- need to know to improve their health and to be literate in today's complex world of science. DNA fingerprinting, caloric requirements, heart disease, dietary advice, genetic engineering, cancer -- all explained in an easy-to-understand book.

Are You Eating Right? is time-tested and user-friendly. If you want to know how good-or bad-your diet is, or how much fiber is in a carrot or how much vitamin B12 is in a pork chop, this is the book to use. It has the latest dietary recommendations, nutrients for 5,000+ foods, a step-by-step guide to assessing your diet, and what you need to know to eat right. 
The food composition table is unique and includes many ethnic and fast foods. It gives amounts for 23 nutrients. Vitamins and minerals are given as % of the Daily Values, as used on food labels instead of metric units. You can tell at a glance which foods are high or low in a nutrient: Is a food high in zinc if it has 15 milligrams (the daily recommendation)? When it's given as 100% of the Daily Value, you know it is. Having the nutrient values as they are on food labels also allows one to combine the label values with those in the book. 
Many people take nutrient supplements simply because they don't know if they're getting enough, and often are surprised to find that the supplement has what they don't need and doesn't have what they do need. Some even find that their diet is better than they think, and decide to quit the supplement. We promote the idea that eating for health and pleasure can be the same.
