Essential minerals, misconceptions and truths of protein, lipids, carbohydrates, and enzymes are also covered. The second theme covers vitamin needs for various ages, work professions, and activities. The need for specific supplements for specific diseases and disorders is discussed. The third theme covers vitamins vs. drugs, such as caffeine, alcohol, prescriptions, salt and diets. The fourth theme discusses vitamins for physical and cosmetic health; and the fifth area covers vitamins for dogs and cat pets. A selected bibliography for further reading is appended. (wz).
