It includes the Chinese medical descriptions of 200 Western food and similar information on vitamins, minerals, and amino acids. NEW features in the SECOND EDITION include Chinese characters and pinyin throughout the text for important terms. Not one, but several healthy eating pyramids for different dietary styles.
