Doctors, researchers, and people living with food allergies are quoted throughout the text and full source citations are provided. Lists of sources for further research - including organizations to contact - are also included, along with a glossary and detailed subject index.; Individual volumes focus on a specific health or nutrition-related topic, such as body image, diets and dieting, junk food, or vegetarianism. Each contains a topic overview, information about changing trends, up-to-date scientific analysis, and a look at controversies surrounding the featured subject. The narrative also contains personal anecdotes, informative sidebars, fact boxes, and statistics that help readers understand these topics and how they impact their bodies and their lives.
