Name ten reasons for food choices.
- 1.flavors
- 2.habits
- 3.ethnic heritage/traditions
- 4.social interaction
- 5.food availability, convenience, and the economy
- 6.positive and negative associations
- 7.emotional comfort
- 8.values, such as religous beliefs,political views, etc.
- 9.body weight and image
- 10.health benefits
-
what is a nutrient?
composition fo foods
-
name the six classes of nutrients found in food.
water, carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, vitamins, and minerals
-
what is an essential nutrient?
are those the body cannot make in sufficient quantities to meet needs, also called indispensable nutrients
-
which nutrients are inorganic, and which are organic? discuss the significance of that distinction.
- vitamins are organic, essential nutrients that allow the body to obtain energy from carbohydrate, fat, and protein.
- minerals are inorganic, essential nutrients that are found in the bones, teeth, and body fluids.
-
which nutrient yield energy,and how much energy do they yield per gram? how is energy measured?
- carbohydrate, fat and protein. carbohydrate yields 4kcal per gram, protein yield 4 kcal per gram, and fat yield 9 kcal per gram.
- energy is measured in calories.
-
what is the science of nutrition?
conducting research; nutrition research tests hypotheses and develops theories.
-
describe the types of reserach studies and methods used in acquiring nutriton information.
- 1.epidemiological studies include cross-sectional, case-control, adn cohort designs.
- 2.laboratory-based studies include animal studies and laboratory based in vitro studies.
- 3.human interventions and clinical trials
-
what are the DRI?
dietary reference intake; establishing nutrient recomendations
-
identify the categories of DRI and indicate how they are related.
- 1.estimated average requirement (EAR))defines the requirement of a nutrient that supports a specific function in the body for half of the healthy population.
- 2.recomended dietary allowances (RDA) use the EAR as a base adn includes sufficient daily amounts of nutrients to meet the known nutrient needs of practically healthy populations. this recommendations considers deficiencies.
- 3. adequate intakes (AI) reflect the average daily amount of a nutrient without an established RDA that appears to be sufficient.
- 4.tolerable upper intake level (UL) is a maximum daily amount of a nutrient that appears safe for most healthy people and beyond which there is an increased risk of adverse health effects.

A.double blind.
B.placebo control
C.double control.
D.blind variable.
A.double blind. (this multiple choice question has been scrambled)
-

A.average amount of a nutrient considered adequate to meet the known nutrient needs of practicaly all healthy people.
B.average amount of a nutrient that will maintain a specific biochemical or physiological function in half the people.
C.lowest amount of a nutrient that will maintain a specified criterion of adequacy.
D.highest amount of a nutrient that appears safre for most healthy people.
