| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Vitamins and Minerals are an essential part of nutrition. Many of us, however, know little more than that we need them, but not why or for what. This book explains the role of vitamins and minerals in human nutrition. An overview of vitamins and dietary minerals are given as an introduction. This foundation information is followed by individual discussion of each vitamin and mineral, their role in the body and the diseases and medical conditions associated with deficiency or excess. Project Webster represents a new publishing paradigm, allowing disparate content sources to be curated into cohesive, relevant, and informative books. To date, this content has been curated from Wikipedia articles and images under Creative Commons licensing, although as Project Webster continues to increase in scope and dimension, more licensed and public domain content is being added. We believe books such as this represent a new and exciting lexicon in the sharing of human knowledge. |
