Summary: An excellent reference
Comment: Beverages in Nutrition and Health has been an excellent reference for my work in the food industry as a formulator of nutritional beverages and food products. Anyone interested in health, nutrition and food sciences will be brought up to date on a broad scope of beverage topics including nutritional research, developmental and clinical medicine, beverage manufacturing, government regulations and marketing trends. I appreciated the wide range of expertise and viewpoints presented by the contributing authors. It truly covers a full spectrum: fruit and tomato juices, coffee, tea, cocoa, milk, alcohol, infant formula, bottled water, soft drinks, weight management, elderly nutritional support, rehydration, sport and performance beverages. It is not a stuffy text at all! Instead, it is a refreshing and relevant mix of research, government and industry voices that speak on the past, present and future evolution of beverages.

Summary: Nutrition of beverages fills a gap!
Comment: This unique and well-written book reviews the health effects of a wide variety of beverages, including alcohol, human milk, cow's milk, water, fruit and vegetable juices, coffee, tea, cocoa, soft drinks, and sport drinks. A book about beverages, and not foods, is unusual, but fills a much needed gap in the fields of food science and nutrition. It is essential reading for individuals in the food and beverage industry. As an academic who conducts research about the impact of diet on health, I find this an excellent resource on beverages.

Summary: Excellent resource
Comment: We all drinks beverages every day. Yet, surprising as it may seem, there is no single book that focuses on this subject. This book is therefore a very welcome arrival on the food scene. The authors of this book are international experts on their areas. The book is wide in scope, covering the major types of beverages. But at the same time the reader is given enough detail to learn what the topic is all about as well as recent developments. The book is an invaluable aid for those involved in new product development.
