Introduction to Nutrition and Metabolism equips readers with an understanding of the scientific basis of what we call a healthy diet. Now in its sixth edition, this highly recognized textbook provides clear explanations of how nutrients are metabolized and gives the principles of biochemistry needed for comprehending the science of nutrition.
This full-color textbook explores the need for food and the uses to which food is put in the body, as well as the interactions between health and diet. Outlining the scientific basis behind nutritional requirements and recommendations, this new edition has been extensively revised to reflect current knowledge.
Features:
Following its predecessors, this sixth edition is relevant to any student or practitioner interested in how diet influences our health, including in the fields of nutrition, dietetics, medicine and public health.

About the Author
David A. Bender was educated at North Ealing Primary School and Greenford County
Grammar School in London and then studied biochemistry at the University of Birmingham
in England from 1965 to 1968. He joined the Courtauld Institute of Biochemistry at the
Middlesex Hospital Medical School as a research assistant in 1968, was appointed as a
lecturer in biochemistry in 1970 and received his PhD (on the metabolism of aromatic
amino acids) from the University of London in 1971. The Middlesex Hospital Medical
School merged with University College London (UCL) in 1987, and he became a member
of the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at UCL. He was appointed as
senior lecturer in biochemistry in 1994 and professor of nutritional biochemistry in 2009.
He retired from UCL in 2011, with the title of Emeritus Professor. From 1994 until retirement,
he was the assistant faculty tutor to the medical students, and from 1998 he was
the subdean (Education) and director of studies for the early years of the medical course
at UCL.
His research interests have been in the fi eld of amino acid and vitamin nutritional
biochemistry, and he was a member of the working group on vitamins that formed part of
the expert committee that produced the 1991 report on Dietary Reference Values for Food
Energy and Nutrients for the United Kingdom, the European Union expert committee that
produced the 1993 report on Nutrient and Energy Intakes for the European Community
and the Food Safety Authority of Ireland working party on Safe Micronutrient Levels.
In addition to research publications, he has also written a number of books, including:
- Nutritional Biochemistry of the Vitamins , 2nd Edition, 2003, Cambridge University Press.
- Amino Acid Metabolism , 3rd Edition, 2012, Wiley- Blackwell.
- Benders' Dictionary of Nutrition and Food Technology , 8th Edition, 2006, Woodhead
Publishing, Oxford.
- Dictionary of Food and Nutrition , 3rd Edition, 2009, Oxford University Press.

Shauna M. C. Cunningham was educated at Bank Street Primary School and Greenwood
Academy in Irvine, Scotland, before undertaking undergraduate studies at Glasgow
University. She moved to Aberdeen University in 1991 to study for a PhD. This was
followed by a period of postdoctoral research at Aberdeen University and Kurume
University Medical School, Japan, before she joined the Nutrition and Dietetics Teaching
Group in 2001 as a lecturer in nutritional physiology and biochemistry at Robert Gordon
University in Aberdeen. Shauna continues to teach student nutritionists and dietitians at
Robert Gordon University, with a particular interest in metabolism and its relationship
with diet.
