86) What is fiber and why is it important? Answer: Fiber is the portion of plant foods that isn't completely digested in the stomach and small intestine. Some foods such as whole grains, fruits, and vegetables that are high in fiber are also phytochemical powerhouses. Studies have shown that diets rich in these plant-based foods fight many diseases. Fiber is not found in meat, poultry, or fish. Page Ref: 11 Skill: Knowledge Learning Outcome: 1.4 Section: 1.4 87) Explain the benefits of a well-balanced diet. Answer: A well-balanced diet is composed of a variety of foods that provide important macronutrients, micronutrients, phytochemicals (nonnutritive compounds in many foods), and fiber that the body needs. Phytochemicals are nonnutrient disease-fighting substances in foods. Fiber is the portion of plant foods that isn't completely digested in the stomach and small intestine. A well-balanced, healthy diet can help reduce the risk of heart disease, cancer, stroke, and diabetes, which are leading causes of death among Americans. Page Ref: 8, 11-12 Skill: Knowledge Learning Outcome: 1.4 Section: 1.4 88) Why is a well-balanced diet superior to nutrient supplements? Answer: A well-balanced diet is composed of a variety of foods that provide important macronutrients, micronutrients, phytochemicals, and fiber that the body needs. Don't assume that these compounds can be extracted from foods, put in a pill, and still produce the same positive effect on your health. The disease-fighting properties of phytochemicals likely go beyond the compounds themselves and work with fiber, nutrients, or unknown substances in foods to provide a synergistic, positive effect on your health. Page Ref: 11 Skill: Comprehension Learning Outcome: 1.4 Section: 1.4 89) How many calories are provided by carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids? Answer: While carbohydrates and proteins each contribute 4 calories per gram, 1 gram of lipids contributes 9 calories per gram. Page Ref: 9 Skill: Knowledge Learning Outcome: 1.3 Section: 1.3

90) Discuss the similarities of macronutrients and micronutrients. Answer: Both macronutrients and micronutrients are essential for growth, reproduction, repair, and maintenance; and for the regulation of body processes. Calories from macronutrients are used as energy during the process of metabolism, and many micronutrients are essential to this process. Page Ref: 4, 9 Skill: Comprehension Learning Outcome: 1.3 Section: 1.3 91) Describe the effect on the body of having too much or too few nutrients. Answer: Your body needs all the nutrients to function properly. An acute deficiency of even one nutrient will negatively affect your body's ability to function in the short term. Chronic deficiencies, excesses, and imbalances of many nutrient can also affect your long-term health. Page Ref: 8 Skill: Knowledge Learning Outcome: 1.1 Section: 1.1 92) How can consumers find credible nutrition information online? Answer: When obtaining nutrition information from the Internet, consumers need to carefully peruse the site to make sure that it is credible, contains up-to-date information, and its content isn't influenced by those that fund and support the website. Websites which contain the letters ".edu" and ".gov" may provide accurate nutrition information. Page Ref: 21-24 Skill: Knowledge Learning Outcome: 1.6 Section: 1.6 93) Why is nutrition important? Answer: Good nutrition plays a role in reducing the risk of four of the top ten leading causes of death in the United States—heart disease, cancer, stroke, and diabetes. Nutrition also plays an important role in preventing other diseases and conditions that can impede your lifestyle. A healthy diet can help keep your bones strong and reduce your risk of osteoporosis. Eating right will help you better manage your body weight, which in turn will reduce your risk of developing obesity, diabetes, and high blood pressure.

Page Ref: 47 Skill: Knowledge Learning Outcome: 2.4 Section: 2.4 75) Describe the current recommendations for eating and time of day. Answer: Start your day with a nutrient-dense breakfast as part of a healthy eating pattern. Skipping breakfast specifically may reduce the nutrient quality of your diet. Eating breakfast on a regular basis may improve overall nutrient intake. Eating a larger breakfast and smaller dinner may aid in weight loss. The time of day we eat may affect the way our bodies process food. Page Ref: 48 Skill: Knowledge Learning Outcome: 2.4 Section: 2.4 76) Describe the three types of claims that are allowed on a food label. Answer: The nutrient content claim on a food label describes the level or amount of a nutrient in a food product. A nutrient content claim may be descriptive such as free (fat-free yogurt), high (high-fiber crackers), low (low saturated fat granola), reduced (reduced sodium soup), and extra lean (extra lean ground beef) as long as it meets the strict criteria designated by the FDA. A health claim links a food or a dietary compound, such as fiber to a corresponding disease or health-related condition. The structure/function claim on the label that describes how a nutrient or dietary compound affects the structure or function of the human body. The claims "calcium (nutrient) builds strong bones (body structure)" and "fiber (dietary compound) maintains bowel regularity (body function)" are examples of structure/function claims. Page Ref: 54-56 Skill: Knowledge Learning Outcome: 2.5 Section: 2.5 77) What are functional foods? Answer: Functional foods are whole foods that along with fortified, enriched, or enhanced foods, have a potential beneficial effect on health when regularly consumed as part of a varied diet at effective levels. For example, carrots, pumpkin, cantaloupe, and broccoli are functional foods because they contain the antioxidant beta-carotene. Although functional foods do convey health benefits, they are not magic elixirs that can negate a poor diet. The best way to use functional foods is as part of a healthy diet that can help prevent adverse health conditions from occurring in the first place. Functional foods can be a part of a healthy, well-balanced diet. Page Ref: 59-60 Skill: Knowledge Learning Outcome: 2.6 Section: 2.6 17 Copyright © 2023 Pearson Education, Inc.
78) What is the difference between phytochemicals and zoochemicals? Answer: A phytochemical is a plant chemical that has been shown to reduce the risk of certain diseases such as cancer and heart disease. Beta-carotene is a phytochemical in carrots, pumpkin, cantaloupe, and broccoli. A zoochemical is a compound in animal food products that is beneficial to human health. Omega-3 fatty acids in salmon and sardines are an example of zoochemicals. Page Ref: 60 Skill: Knowledge Learning Outcome: 2.6 Section: 2.6 79) Describe a potential health risk of functional beverages. Answer: Functional beverages, such as herbal beverages or vitamin-enhanced water, can have more calories and added sugar than soft drinks. Page Ref: 61 Skill: Knowledge Learning Outcome: 2.6 Section: 2.6 80) What is a structure/function claim on a food label? Answer: The structure/function claim on a food label describes how a nutrient or dietary compound affects the structure or function of the human body. The claims "calcium (nutrient) builds strong bones (body structure)" and "fiber (dietary compound) maintains bowel regularity (body function)" are examples of structure/function claims. Page Ref: 56 Skill: Knowledge Learning Outcome: 2.5 Section: 2.5 81) What are the Dietary Guidelines and why are they important? Answer: The Dietary Guidelines for Americans are guidelines published every five years that provide dietary and lifestyle advice to individuals in order to maintain good health and prevent chronic diseases, such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and obesity. They reflect the most current nutrition and dietary recommendations based on science for good health. Page Ref: 38-39 Skill: Knowledge Learning Outcome: 2.3 Section: 2.3

82) What is MyPlate and how can it be used by the average American? Answer: MyPlate is a tool that visually represents the five food groups and many of the recommendations in the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. MyPlate andMyPlate.gov can guide the average American to meet their daily nutrient needs. The MyPlate.gov interactive website will give you the exact numbers of servings to eat from each food group based on your daily calorie needs. The recommendations emphasize proportionality among the food groups, variety, and nutrient density. Page Ref: 40-43 Skill: Knowledge Learning Outcome: 2.4 Section: 2.4 83) You have developed a new brand of lemonade. By law, what information needs to be on the Nutrition Facts panel? Answer: The FDA requires that all packaged foods and beverages include the following: serving size of the lemonade, as well as the corresponding amount of calories, fat, saturated fat, trans fat, cholesterol, sodium, total carbohydrates, dietary fiber, total sugars, added sugars, protein, vitamin D, calcium, iron, and potassium that are contained in one serving. Page Ref: 50 Skill: Application Learning Outcome: 2.5 Section: 2.5 84) Describe the three types of food label claims. Answer: The nutrient content claim on a food label describes the level or amount of a nutrient in a food product. A nutrient content claim may be descriptive such as free (fat-free yogurt), high (high-fiber crackers), low (low saturated fat granola), reduced (reduced sodium soup), and extra lean (extra lean ground beef) as long as it meets the strict criteria designated by the FDA. A health claim links a food or a dietary compound, such as fiber to a corresponding disease or health-related condition. The structure/function claim on the label that describes how a nutrient or dietary compound affects the structure or function of the human body. The claims "calcium (nutrient) builds strong bones (body structure)" and "fiber (dietary compound) maintains bowel regularity (body function)" are examples of structure/function claims.

19 Copyright © 2023 Pearson Education, Inc.
85) What are Daily Values of a food, and how can they be used? Answer: The Daily Values (DVs) are established references levels of nutrients based on a 2,000-calorie diet, that are used on food labels. The DVs give you an idea of how the nutrients in the foods you buy fit into your overall diet, and if you compare it to another food, how those servings of those foods compare. For example, a serving of granola is high in calcium (a healthy attribute), providing 20 percent of the DV for calcium. If a nutrient provides 5 percent or less of the DV, it is considered low in that nutrient. A serving of granola doesn't provide much saturated fat (another healthy attribute). The DVs are based on a 2,000-calorie diet. Page Ref: 53 Skill: Comprehension Learning Outcome: 2.5 Section: 2.5 86) Discuss the Nutrition Facts panel and its requirements. Answer: The nutrition facts panel is the area on the food label that provides a uniform listing of specific nutrients obtained in one serving of food. The Nutrition Facts panel is regulated by the Food and Drug Administration, and it provides a nutritional snapshot of the food inside a package. The panel must list the following per serving of the food: calories, total fat, saturated fat, trans fat, cholesterol, sodium, total carbohydrate, dietary fiber, total sugars, added sugars, protein, vitamin D, calcium, iron, and potassium. If an additional nutrient, such as vitamin E or vitamin B12, has been added to the food, then that nutrient must be listed. Also, or if the product makes a claim about a nutrient, then that nutrient must also be listed on the Nutrition Facts panel. Page Ref: 51-53 Skill: Comprehension Learning Outcome: 2.5 Section: 2.5 87) How are more nutrient-dense foods different from less nutrient-dense foods? Discuss an example of how to include more nutrient dense foods in your diet. Answer: Nutrient density refers to the amount of nutrients a food contains in relationship to the number of calories it contains. More nutrient-dense foods provide more nutrients per calorie (and in each bite) than less nutrient-dense foods and so are better choices for meeting your DRIs without exceeding your daily calorie need. A baked potato is a nutrient-dense food because it is high in potassium, folate, and vitamin C. Potato chips are less nutrient-dense because they are higher in calories and lower in nutrients. To ensure that you consume more nutrient-dense foods, choose minimally processed foods and read and compare food labels. Page Ref: 40-41 Skill: Comprehension Learning Outcome: 2.4 Section: 2.4

88) What is MyPlate and how is it different from MyPlate.gov? Answer: MyPlate serves as an icon to remind consumers to eat healthfully. It depicts the five food groups using a familiar mealtime visual, a place setting. MyPlate is the focal point for a larger, Web-based communication and education initiative at MyPlate.gov that provides information, tips, and tools to help you build a healthier diet based on the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. Also available at MyPlate.gov is an interactive food guidance system that will provide you with a personalized food plan based on the latest nutrition and health recommendations. In addition to showing a variety of food groups that can make up a healthy diet, the tool MyPlate and the supporting information at MyPlate.gov promote proportionality, moderation, variety, and personalization. Page Ref: 40 Skill: Comprehension Learning Outcome: 2.4 Section: 2.4 89) Explain how Americans can use MyPlate to eat a healthy diet. Answer: In MyPlate, grains, fruits, vegetables, and proteins should each comprise 25 percent of a meal. The blue circle next to the plate is a visual reminder to include fat-free and low-fat dairy foods such as milk. Each food in each food group should be nutrient-dense, providing more nutrients per calorie and in each bite than less nutrient-dense foods. This way, calorie intake will be low, and nutrient intake will be high. Page Ref: 40-41 Skill: Application Learning Outcome: 2.4 Section: 2.4 90) Name the five food groups in MyPlate. Answer: Dairy, grains, fruits, vegetables, and proteins are the five food groups in MyPlate. Page Ref: 40 Skill: Knowledge Learning Outcome: 2.4 Section: 2.4 91) Explain the role of functional foods in the diet. Answer: Functional foods are whole foods that, along with fortified, enriched, or enhanced foods, have a potentially beneficial effect on health when regularly consumed as part of a varied diet at effective levels based on significant standards of evidence. Although functional foods do convey health benefits, they are not magic elixirs that can negate a poor diet. The best way to use functional foods is as part of a healthy diet that can help prevent adverse health conditions from occurring in the first place.

92) Which foods and beverages are exempt from carrying a Nutrition Facts panel? Answer: The following foods and beverages are exempt from carrying a Nutrition Facts panel: plain coffee and tea; some spices, flavorings, and other foods that don't provide a significant amount of nutrients; bakery foods, and other ready-to-eat foods that are prepared and sold in retail establishments; and foods produced by small businesses. Raw fruits and vegetables and fresh fish typically don't have a label as these foods fall under the FDA's voluntary point-ofpurchase nutrition information program. Under the guidelines of this program, grocery stores can post the nutrition information of the most commonly eaten fruits, vegetables, and fish near where the foods are sold. Page Ref: 51 Skill: Knowledge Learning Outcome: 2.5 Section: 2.5 93) Discuss how the Daily Values on a food label should be interpreted. Answer: The Daily Values (DVs) listed on the Nutrition Facts panel are general reference levels for the nutrients listed on the food label. The DVs give you a ballpark idea of how the nutrients in the foods you buy fit into your overall diet. If a serving provides 20 percent or more of the DV, it is considered high in that nutrient. For example, a serving of granola is high in calcium (a healthy attribute), providing 20 percent of the DV for calcium. If a nutrient provides 5 percent or less of the DV, it is considered low in that nutrient. A serving of granola doesn't provide much saturated fat (another healthy attribute). Page Ref: 53 Skill: Comprehension Learning Outcome: 2.5 Section: 2.5 94) Why is it important to read food labels if you are trying to lose weight? Answer: Reading the nutrition label and being aware of serving sizes can be helpful for someone trying to lose weight. Look at calorie content and aim to stay within your calorie needs for the day, and try to choose foods low in saturated fats, trans fats, and added sugars.
