"The purpose is to provide an update on the beverage climate in health and general use. With so many articles being published about the benefits or negative impacts on health, this book is needed to hone in on these issues. The intended audience for this book is broad: all healthcare professionals, dietitians, physicians, university researchers, students, beverage industry researchers and marketers. ... All of the chapters include key words, key points, an introduction and conclusion along with references." (Amy Hess-Fischl, Doody's Book Reviews, May, 2016)
