How does our food become contaminated with pathogens that cause
foodborne illness?
Give this one a try later!
Foodborne illnesses are only caused by improper cooking techniques.
Pathogens are only present in raw foods and not in processed foods.
Contamination occurs only during the cooking process.
Food intoxications caused by toxins or harmful chemicals, Like pathogens,
toxins and chemicals can arise from food cultivation, harvesting, processing,
or distribution.

(RCT) study subjects are required to participate in and study and are randomly
assigned into one of two groups, one of which is the control group.
Nutrient claim: provides straight-forward information about the level of nutrients or
calories in the food, such as "fat-free", "'Low-calorie", or "reduced sodium".
Regulated by the FDA with very specific regulations.
Go through multiple processes (extrusion, molding) and contain many added
ingredients and are highly manipulated. Soft drinks, chips, chocolate, candy.
Structure-function claim: intentionally vague statements about nutrients
playing a role in health processes.
Example: "calcium builds strong bones"

Nutrient claim: provides straight-forward information about the level of nutrients or
calories in the food, such as "fat-free", "'Low-calorie", or "reduced sodium".
Regulated by the FDA with very specific regulations.
Nutrient-dense food: Foods that contain many essential nutrients per calorie.
Includes fruits, veggies, lean meats, poultry, fish, low-fat dairy, and whole
grains.
Energy-dense food: Foods that contain high amounts of calories. Includes
peanut better, bananas, etc.
Nutrient-poor: opposite of nutrient-dense foods.
Settings with all the different types of foods made available and accessible to
people in their out of home environment as they go about the daily lives.
Systemic review: formulates a research question and then systemically and
independently identify, select, evaluate, and synthesize high-quality evidence that
relates to a research question.
Meta-analysis: a type of systemic review that goes one step further, combining the
data of multiple studies using statistics to summarize it, as if creating a mega-study
from many smaller studies.
