PREFACE
The Ninth Edition of Heinz Nutritional Data (now renamed
Heinz Handbook of Nutrition) is a continuation of work started in
1934, when the H.J. Heinz Company published the first edition
of “Nutritional Charts”. This classic brochure of descriptive and
tabular information relating to the nutritive value of foods was
compiled for the guidance of physicians, nutritionists, dietitians,
public health workers and home economists to aid them in
devising diets for both the sick and healthy.
Through twelve editions, “Nutritional Charts” grew rapidly in
scope and volume until it became necessary to change the format
to book form. Thus, in 1949 HEINZ NUTRITIONAL DATA
became the greatly expanded successor to the original
“Nutritional Charts” incorporating much additional material
from the fields of food, nutrition, biochemistry and medicine.
Nine editions and several revised printings attest to the wide and
favorable reception given this publication. Most gratifying has
been its adoption as a teaching aid by certain medical schools in
this country. In this new edition, the RDAs have been replaced
where available with the DRIs. Furthermore, a new chapter on
Functional Foods has been added. This reflects the current
interest in this area of nutrition. It is our hope that the HEINZ
HANDBOOK OF NUTRITION, the title which better reflects
the content of the book, will continue to be a useful reference
manual for those concerned with the theory and practice of the
science of nutrition.
