With its nuanced approach, this book serves as an invaluable resource for students, government policymakers, and sports managers seeking to gain a deep understanding of the complex issues surrounding PIEDS consumption. It offers a reliable guide for navigating the multifaceted landscape of PIEDS, shedding light on their implications and potential interventions.
