Nutrition by Nancy Guthrie, Ryan Morris, and Shuren Xu for the Pierce Open Pathway, Pierce College at Joint Base Lewis-McChord owes a great deal of our thanks to Brian Lindshield from Kansas State University. While our work is significantly different from Lindshield’s original text- Kansas State University Human Nutrition (HN 400) Flexbook^[1]– we started with his work as the inspiration for this text.

This book was originally drafted during the fall of 2015, and is still in transition.

We would also like to acknowledge the work of OpenStaxCollege. We heavily used chapters of Anatomy and Physiology by OpenStaxCollege.

Finally, we want to say thank you to the many sources that are attributed within the pages of this work. We are thankful that others have been willing to share their work, so that we could curate this collection of resources to support our students.
