fresh fruit, baked chips, oatmeal raisin cookies
,epidemiological study - CORRECT ANSWER-observing relationships between diet,
health, and disease patterns in dif populations
balance study - CORRECT ANSWER-compares the total amount of a nutrient that
enters the body with the total amount that leaves the body
depletion-repletion study - CORRECT ANSWER-A study that feeds subjects a diet
devoid of a nutrient until signs of deficiency appear, and then adds the nutrient back to
the diet to a level at which symptoms disappear and health is restored
double blind study - CORRECT ANSWER-An experiment in which neither the
participant nor the researcher knows whether the participant has received the treatment
or the placebo
single blind study - CORRECT ANSWER-study in which the subjects do not know if
they are in the experimental or the control group
variety - CORRECT ANSWER-selecting nutrient dense foods from each food group and
within each
balance - CORRECT ANSWER-one food lacking in a nutrient, balance with another
food that doesnt
moderation - CORRECT ANSWER-all types of food are ok
- not consuming too much energy, fat, sugar, alc
- achieves healthy weight and lowers risk of chronic disease
Steps of the Scientific Method - CORRECT ANSWER-observation, hypothesis,
experiment, conclusion
theory vs hypothesis - CORRECT ANSWER-theory: explanation based on scientific
study and reasoning
hypothesis: proposed explanation

universities, health professionals, nonprofit organizations based on science to provide
information to improve health
recommended dietary allowances - CORRECT ANSWER-intakes that meet needs of
97-98% of healthy individs in each group
- determined using EAR value and taking into acct individ variability
- intakes lower than this can indicate deficiency
Estimated Average Requirement (EAR) - CORRECT ANSWER-amount of a nutrient
that meets the needs of 50% of healthy people in a life stage/gender group
, Adequate Intake (AI) - CORRECT ANSWER-a recommended average daily nutrient
intake level based on observed or experimentally determined estimates of nutrient
intake by a group of healthy people
Upper Levels (UL) - CORRECT ANSWER-max daily intakes unlikely to pose a risk to
almost all individs in specific group
