- this review was sent in by a reader:
- Ok, so it's got a lot of info for endurance athletes and other Olympic sports, but great info on Vitamin and Mineral supplementation, foodsources, drugs, etc. Published 1993, so maybe a bit old, but all scientific, and everything is referenced (how often do you see that?). Beware, thebook was sponsored by Twinlabs, so expect some shameless plugging of theirproducts, but undoubtably one of the best nutrition books i've read.
P.S. I think Arnold Schwarzenegger's "Encyclopedia of Modern Bodybuilding" is available in a new edition. Check it out at Amazon.com Keep up the good work.
