HNSC 1210 (Nutrition) CHAPTER 1 STUDY
GUIDE COMPLETE AND ACCURATE.
Enriched foods and fortified foods
foods to which nutrients have been added
Fast foods
restaurant foods that are available within minutes after customers order them
Functional foods
foods known to possess nutrients or non-nutrients that might lend protection against
diseases
Natural foods
a term that has no legal definition but is often used to imply wholesomeness.
Nutraceuticals
a product that has been isolated from food and sold in pill form and believed to have
medicinal effects
Organic foods
foods grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers
Partitioned foods
Foods composed of parts of natural whole foods such as butter (from milk), sugar
(from beets or cane), or corn oil (from corn).
Processed foods
foods subjected to any process, such as milling, alteration of texture, addition of
additives, cooking, or others.
Staple foods
, Foods used frequently and daily around the world
Define nutrient density
A measure of nutrients provided per calorie of food.
There are four common research designs used in nutrition research:
- case studies-individuals
- epidemiological study-populations
- intervention study-populations with manipulation
- laboratory study-tightly controlled conditions
Define Case study
looks at individuals and give results specific to that individual
Define epidemiological study
looks at populations worldwide
Define intervention study
looks at populations with the use of manipulation
Define laboratory study
tightly controlled conditions with control groups and experimental groups
_________ and _________ studies give us the most powerful results because they
show us the results of treatments
intervention; laboratory
One experiment DOES/DOES NOT prove/disprove anything. It must be _________
many times before findings are _________. Even then, science is more “_________”
than “facts”. Theories can always be _________ revised
dose not; replicated; confirmed; theories; challenged
Valid nutrition information is derived from scientific research, conducted by
scientists who follow specific characteristics. They:
