McCance

‘McCance’ is likely to be the first name to spring to mind if readers were asked to name an eminent nutritionist. Most of us have learnt the essentials of nutrition and dietetics with those famous food tables of McCance and Widdowsonon hand as an invaluable guide and source of reference. Yet Professor McCance does not regard himself primarily as a nutritionist. The study of nutrition has been only one part of his interest in the physiology and well being of the whole human animal in relation to its environment.
