until now
**this has contributed the MOST to the obesity in our society
Ethanol has been shown to be helpful in low amounts on....? - ANSWER-lipid profile
(HDL going up) and glucose control
**both the alcohol red wine and wine without alcohol both showed benefits on glucose
control ONLY
Nitric Oxide causes... - ANSWER-vasodilation therefore increasing blood flow
**we want this to go up, possibility of lowering blood pressure
Low amounts of ethanol has not been shown to help with...? - ANSWER-decreased
blood pressure
Randomized def: - ANSWER-the groups were split up completely randomly
Crossover trial def: - ANSWER-each person is their own control, each person goes into
each group one time
Double blind, placebo study def: - ANSWER-both the participant and the person giving
the placebo/real drug don't know if the participant is getting the fake one or the real one

-in certain populations, (like those with heart disease) its better to be obese
Cardiovascular fitness effects: - ANSWER--fat and fit was the best OVER not fit and
normal weight
**Each group, the ones who are fit were better than the ones unfit
Total Energy Expenditure - ANSWER-Resting Metabolic Rate (resting metabolism)
multiplied by activity factor (based off how active they are)
Body composition measurements: skin fold - ANSWER-skin fold: directly measuring
subcutaneous body fat
Body composition measurements: DEXA - ANSWER-**gold standard**
-shows 3 compartments: fat tissue, lean tissue, bones (minerals)
