Despite widespread coverage in the media, there is little emphasis on nutrition in books covering
psychology, and little emphasis on behavior in nutrition textbooks. This book provides interested
readers in the fields of nutrition and psychology with information on how these two disciplines
interface.
Traditional topics (e.g. micronutrients, sugar, eating disorders) are addressed, as well as more recent
topics (e.g. herbs, PUFAs, obesity). Research methods and results that demonstrate the utility of
considering both perspectives when designing studies to explore human behavior are critically
reviewed. This book will be of significant interest to advanced students of nutrition, dietetics and
psychology.
