Dedication

This book is dedicated to my husband, Perry Luntz, a fellow writer who, as

always, stayed patient as a saint and even-tempered beyond belief while I was

racing pell-mell (and not always pleasantly) to deadline.

Author’s Acknowledgments

This new edition of Nutrition For Dummies has given me the opportunity to

work with yet another group of thoroughly pleasant professionals at the

Dummies group of Wiley Publishing. Acquisitions Editor Michael Lewis enthu-

siastically welcomed the new edition and kept the project moving smoothly.

Senior Project Editor Natalie Harris was incredibly soothing to the author, not

to mention totally in command of the hundreds, maybe even thousands, of

details it takes to update a nutrition book. I appreciate Danielle Voirol, maybe

more than she knows; medical and science writers understand very well that

without skillful, knowledgeable copy editors, we would be walking over fac-

tual cliffs every day of our writing lives. Finally, I am grateful to Alfred Bushway,

PhD, for once again reading and commenting on the manuscript. Thanks, guys.
