Beer in Health and Disease Prevention, 2nd Edition

Reviews of the previous edition:“Beer in Health and Disease Prevention serves an important function by righting the bias toward wine as the only healthy alcoholic beverage. The book is a massive 1,100 page compendium with 103 chapters by many international distinguished contributors. There are too many excellent entries to cite them individually. Suffice it to say that the book is packed with data in readable form. A strong and useful feature is the inclusion at the end of each chapter of a detailed list of summary points. Overall, this volume splendidly fulfils the stated mission. Dr. Preedy deserves congratulations for undertaking and completing a monumental undertaking. It will be of interest and value to scientists in a number of disciplines and to interested nonscientists.” –Arthur L. Klatsky, Kaiser Permanente Medical Care Program, in AMERICAN JOURNAL OF HUMAN BIOLOGY”Each chapter is well laid out with an abstract summarizing the chapter, a list of abbreviations and at the end of each chapter there are succinct summary points. This reviewer highly recommends this reference bookand believes that it is very good value for the price.” –Inge Russell, Ph.D., D.Sc., FIBiol, FIBD, JOURNAL OF THE INSTITUTE OF BREWING”Although a large part of the book is dedicated to ‘beer in terms of health and disease prevention’ as the title states, the content also encompasses areas such as beer analysis methodology, beer drinking patterns and beer production…. This reviewer highly recommends this reference book and believes that it is very good value for the price.” –The Journal of the Institute of Brewing
