Protein and Energy : A Study of Changing Ideas in Nutrition

Editorial Reviews
Review
'He makes excellent use of his contemporary scientific knowledge in elucidating the past, and he is even-handed in dealing with a subject riddled with hasty pronouncements and gullible consumers.' The Times Literary Supplement

Book Description
This book offers an intriguing look at the historical context of the repeated controversies during the past 150 years over the relative merits of a high-protein versus a low-protein diet. It puts the protein controversy into a historical perspective that sheds light on the scientific aspects of these questions and their historical development in a way that should be of interest to a wide range of readers in medicine, nutrition, public health, and history of science and medicine.
