NUTR 331 REVIEW ALL SET QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS SURE A+
✔✔common mistake when interpreting RDAs - ✔✔Interpreting intakes that are less than
the RDA as a "deficiency," rather than an indication of a possible inadequacy, with the
probability of deficiency increasing as the intakes fall. Adequate intakes are achieved
when the diet has 95% of the RDAs or more. The further below 95% of the RDA a
nutrient is, the more likely the person is to have low nutrient stores, which may lead to
poor health and nutrient deficiency symptoms.
✔✔The Tolerable Upper Intake Levels (UL) - ✔✔serves as a guide for what intakes are
considered excessive and hazardous to health. An excess of nutrients obtained from
ordinary foods does not pose a problem, because the body can absorb less, or can
store or excrete the excess, without harm. However, if nutrient intake is substantially too
high (e.g., from the use of supplements), adverse effects may occur.
✔✔describe the purpose and content of Eating Well with Canada's Food Guide (2007),
focusing on adults. - ✔✔Eating Well with Canada's Food Guide describes what amount
of food people need and what type of food is part of a healthy eating pattern. The eating
pattern in Canada's Food Guide includes foods from each of the four food groups
(Vegetables and Fruit (7-10), Grain Products (6-8), Milk and Alternatives(2), and Meat
and Alternatives (2,3), plus a certain amount of added oils and fats (2-3tbps)).
✔✔Following the eating pattern in Canada's Food Guide will help people - ✔✔1) get
enough vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients 2) reduce the risk of obesity, type 2
diabetes, heart disease, certain types of cancer, and osteoporosis 3) achieve overall
health and vitality
✔✔discuss the reasons for including variety, moderation, calorie control, and balance in
eating guidelines. - ✔✔The healthy eating pattern is based on extensive scientific
evidence. It was developed by looking at different combinations of amounts and types of
food to find an eating pattern that meets nutrient needs. The eating pattern meets the
, nutrient standards of the DRIs AMDR for carbohydrates, proteins and fats. Variety is
important because nutrient amounts in foods vary in even the same food groups, thus to
have a balance of necessary nutrients, one must have a wide selection of foods.
✔✔Key ingredients in Milk - ✔✔Protein, fats, carbs, riboflavin, Vb12, vd, va, Ca, zn, Mg,
K
✔✔Key ingredients in Vegetables - ✔✔carbs, fibre, folate, vb6, vc, va, mg, k
✔✔Key ingredients in Grains - ✔✔carbs, fibre, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, folate, ve, fe,
zn, mg, k
✔✔Key ingredients in Meat - ✔✔Protein, fats, fatty acids, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin,
vb12, vb6, ve, fe, mg, zn, k
✔✔interpret information included in a standard Nutrition Facts Table and discuss the
difference between what is perceived as a serving sizes - ✔✔facts tables are required
to include an ingredients list in descending order by weight. They must include the %DV
for vitamin c, a, Ca, and Fe. Serving sizes vary and are different compared to the food
guide. In order to compare brands of similar foods, you must be using the same serving
sizes. %DV for fats and carbs cannot be interpreted as percent of calories or weight,
just if there is high or low amounts.
✔✔What food provides carbs - ✔✔Bread and rice
✔✔What food provides proteins - ✔✔poultry and legumes
✔✔What food provides fats - ✔✔cheese and yogurt
✔✔What are some serving sizes of the canada's food guide - ✔✔2 eggs, ¾ cup cereal
or yogurt, 1 cup of leafy lettuce
✔✔Cellular - ✔✔The body's cells need oxygen, energy, nutrients (including water) in
order to stay healthy and do work. Genes direct the machinery of cells (including
enzymes) and interact with nutrients affecting its health. Specialized cells in the body
form tissues and organs; organs work together in body systems .
✔✔Cardiovascular system - ✔✔Blood and lymph carries nutrients and oxygen to all the
body's cells and carries away waste material from those cells. This system ensures that
fluid circulates properly among all organs.
✔✔Immune system - ✔✔this enables the body to resist diseases and defends the body
against antigens. Phagocytes are WBC that are first to defend the body by
