Recenzje

"This is a unique book that does not overlap with other published titles. The authors have differentiated themselves by providing a cross-disciplinary discussion of this topic, which makes the book relevant to scholars/practitioners from several disciplines. The content presented is of utmost quality and backed by substantial scientific research. Based on the recent COVID-19 pandemic, there is additional discussion around chemosensory dysfunction, which justifies its replacement of the previous edition (although COVID has likely just brought to light the importance of sensation in nutrition as it relates to other disorders as well)." - Madison L Simons, Cleveland Clinic Foundation
