For any and all health professionals: an evidence-based guide to the uses, benefits and practical application of a plant-based diet

The book draws on the University of Winchester's Plant-based nutrition course--the first university-based course in the UK on plant-based nutrition--taking both an holistic and a systems-based (heart, respiratory system, diabetes, kidneys, liver, gut) approach.

The course is led by Shireen Kassam with contributions from most of the chapter authors, all of whom are internationally recognized for their work with plant-based nutrition. Each chapter is backed up by 50+ key references.
