1. what antioxidant found in blueberries is known for reducing risk of
Alzheimer?: Anthocyanins in blueberries may reduce the risk of Alzheimer's
disease through anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties
2. The value used for sodium is 2400 mg, even though the new Adequate
Intake (AI) set for sodium intake in adults is 1,500 mg: What food-borne
illness has the fastest onset? The onset for Clostridium perfringens is 16 hours.
3. how do you preserve the quality and quantity of nutrients in your food?:
Keep produce in the refrigerator crisper or in moisture-proof bags. Wash, don't
soak produce. Avoid peeling and paring vegetables before cooking, and prepare
vegetables as close to serving time as possible. Don't thaw frozen vegetables
before cooking, and preheat the pan or water before adding foods to speed
cooking time.
4. Toxoplasma gondii can be transmitted through contact with cat, rat, rodent,
or bird feces. It is especially dangerous to pregnant women, may cause
stillbirth or miscarriage, and can pass to the fetus: Cranberry should not be
used in people who are at high risk for kidney stones. Saw palmetto should not
be used for 2 weeks prior to surgery, and garlic should not be used in people
about to have surgery
5. MyPlate has eliminated quantity confusion by specifying total amounts per
day, such as 6 oz of grains and 2 1/2 cups of vegetables. Instead of counting
the number of portions eaten per day, consumers are now faced with the
challenge of estimating how many servings their portion sizes are: The
primary purpose of the AI is as a goal for the nutrient intake of individuals. This is
similar to the use of the RDA except that the RDA is expected to meet the needs
of almost all healthy people (97% to 98%), while in the case of an AI, it is not
known what percentage of people are covered
6. Dietary supplements are technically unapproved drugs. They are regulated
by the FDA as foods, which means that they do not have to meet the same
standards as drugs and over-the-counter medications. Supplements differ
greatly in how they are marketed and regulated.: Unless a person has
participated in a nutrient requirement study, it is impossible to quantify the
individual's exact nutrient requirements
7. For a 2,000-calorie daily food plan, one should consume 6 oz of grains, 2
1/2 cups of vegetables, 2 cups of fruits, 3 cups of dairy, and 5 1/2 oz. of
protein every day: Individuals can incorporate small amounts of empty calories

into their eating plan and still meet nutrient needs without exceeding total calorie
limits
8. The amount of polyunsaturated fat or monounsaturated fat on a Nutrition
Facts label is voluntary.: Vegetable subgroups that are specified in the MyPlate
Daily Food Plan to ensure variety are dark green, red and orange, beans and peas,
starchy, and other vegetables
9. The decreased consumption of saturated or solid fats is recommended to
decrease the risk of chronic disease. Palm oil, partially hydrogenated oils,
and milk fat are considered solid fats.: The American Heart Association, the
American Cancer Society, and the American Institute for Cancer Research have
all issued dietary recommendations to help Americans choose diets aimed at
reducing the risk of chronic diseases.
10. For people who need fewer than 2,000 calories a day, the %DV listed on
the label underestimates the contribution a serving makes to the total
needed daily: Today, nutrient deficiency diseases are rare in the United States
except among the poor, older adults, alcoholics, fad dieters, and hospitalized
patients.
11. Asparagus is one of the Clean 15, whereas cucumbers, spinach, and
potatoes are part of the dirty dozen.: Dietary supplement manufacturers that want
to market a new dietary ingredient must submit information to the FDA that supports
their conclusion that reasonable evidence exists that the product is safe for human
consumption.
12. The FDA allows certain qualified health claims when the relationship
between food, a food component, and a supplement is not strong enough to
meet significant scientific agreement or published authoritative standards:
Empty calories are items with solid fats and/or added sugars that provide calories
with few or no nutrients. Sometimes all the calories in an item are empty, such as
in regular soft drinks. Sometimes only some of the total calories are considered
empty, such as the calories from added sugar in sweetened yogurt.
13. The Nutrition Facts information is based on one serving, but the size of
a serving can vary among brands and varieties of the same food. Sugars
include both natural and added sugars. The %DV represents the contribution
to a 2,000-calorie diet, not the percentage of calories in that food from each
nutrient. If the food is enriched or fortified with nutrients or if a health claim
is made, pertinent information must be listed.: he American Cancer Society
