Because nutritional recommendations can help everyone remain healthy, the International Diabetes Center offers the general public this book on nutrition. Aside from the specific guidelines for diabetics, the general guidelines presented are applicable to everyone. Sensible recommendations for weight control are emphasized as a secondary reason for writing this book since obesity is strongly associated with diabetes. Shopping/cooking tips for foods from the food groups, weight control measures, making healthy food choices toward avoiding specific diseases, alcohol, caffeine, salt, vitamin/mineral supplements, and nutrition for the athlete comprise some of the topics addressed. Several tables, a nutrition reference section, and a bibliography are included.
