"This book represents a well organized and edited report of the Sixth Annual Public Health Forum.... Surely, [the Forum] and this book...borrowing a sentence from the preface, have 'given a significant contribution to the...acceleration of action that is required to counter and reverse...diet-related NCD.'" (European Journal of Public Health, Vol. 9, No. 1, 1999)

Der Einfluß von Diäten, Ernährungsweise und Lebensstil auf chronische nichtübertragbare Krankheiten ist ein äußerst aktuelles Arbeitsgebiet - auch für Gesundheitspolitiker und Suchtforscher! Weltweite Strategien zur Vorbeugung und Krankheitsbekämpfung werden, geordnet nach Erkrankungstypen und geographischen Besonderheiten, diskutiert.
