About a year ago, Monica decided to save money by feeding her 2 month-old baby a homemade formula prepared with fat-free milk, corn syrup, and a vitamin/mineral supplement. Within a few months, her baby lost its hair and developed scaly skin. According to the baby's physician, the child was not growing properly. Based on this information, Monica's baby probably has an essential fatty acid deficiency. lactose intolerance. an allergy to cholesterol. chronic phospholipidemia.

An optimal lipid profile has high levels of HDL cholesterol and low levels of LDL cholesterol. Which of the following is a heart healthy way to raise HDL cholesterol? Can select more than one correct response. Choosing more saturated fats, such as butter. Choosing more trans fats, such as shortening. Exercising regularly. Losing excess body fat.
exercising regularly losing excess body fat Saturated fatty acids increase HDL, but also raise LDL, so the overall effect is not heart healthy. Trans fat consumption raises LDL but not HDL levels. Exercising regularly and moderate alcohol consumption both raise HDL.
Because animals store glycogen in their muscles, meat, fish, and poultry are good sources of the complex carbohydrate. T/F?
false Although muscles contain glycogen, most animal foods (for example, meat or the flesh of fish and poultry) are not sources of this complex carbohydrate because muscle glycogen breaks down soon after an animal dies.

Fiber plays an important role in bowel health; a diet that is low in fiber leads to HARD FECES THAT ARE DIFFICULT TO ELIMINATE DURING BOWEL MOVEMENTS
~~
If excessive straining occurs during defecation, the anal veins can swell, causing HEMMORRHOIDS
~~
Nutrients generally have more than one role in the body. In many instances, however, a nutrient has a very important or primary role. The primary role of glucose is to PROVIDE ENERGY for cellular metabolism.
~~
People gain body fat when their total intake of kilocalories from MACRONUTRIENTS and the nonnutrient ALCOHOL exceeds their energy needs.
~~
The body converts some of the monosaccharide GLUCOSE into fat, but much of the excess is burned for energy.
~~
The primary sources of added sugars in the typical American diet are REGULAR SOFT DRINKS
~~
When there is a lack of recycled bile salts, the LIVER uses CHOLESTEROL from the bloodstream to make new BILE

A low-fiber diet can contribute to infrequent bowel movements, which is a condition called CONSTIPATION
~~
According to the Dietary Guidelines (2015-2020), people should limit their intake of SATURATED FATTY ACIDS to less than 10% of total calories, and keep TRANS FAT AND CHOLESTEROL intakes as low as possible.
~~
High pressure inside the large intestine during bowel movements can cause small pouches called DIVERTICULA to protrude through the intestinal wall.
~~
If SOLUBLE fiber is present in chyme, it can interfere with the recycling of used bile salts. As a result, the used bile salts are ELIMINATED in FECES
~~
To fulfill such recommendations, diets should emphasize the CONSUMPTION OF FISH, NUTS AND VEGETABLE OILS
~~
Used bile salts are absorbed in the SMALL INTESTINE. After being absorbed, the used bile salts enter the LIVER. This organ recycles the bile salts to make new BILE

Marcus has decided to reduce his fat intake to gradually lose some excess body fat. If he follows an 1,800 kcal/day diet and maintains his percentage of fat intake within the Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Range, how many grams of fat per day should he consume? 40-70 grams of fat per day 40-75 grams of fat per day 360-630 grams of fat per day 47-82 grams of fat per day

Lisa is a 19-year-old college student who recently began experiencing symptoms of lactose intolerance. She recognizes the importance of consuming adequate dietary calcium, but does not want to further aggravate her gastrointestinal system. Select all of the dietary practices that can help Lisa meet her calcium needs without aggravating her lactose intolerance symptoms: Eat aged cheeses and yogurt. Drink low-lactose or lactase-treated milk, such as Lactaid®. Drink milk on an empty stomach. Drink calcium-fortified soy milk. Take lactase pills before eating or drinking dairy foods.
Eat aged cheeses and yogurt. Drink low-lactose or lactase-treated milk, such as Lactaid®. Drink calcium-fortified soy milk. Take lactase pills before eating or drinking dairy foods. Drinking milk, especially in large amounts, can aggravate symptoms of lactose intolerance. Choosing low-lactose and lactose-free foods, such as aged cheeses, yogurt, or soy milk, is a good way to obtain calcium without causing gastrointestinal distress.Taking a lactase pill or treating foods with lactase before eating them will assist the breakdown of lactose in the gastrointestinal tract, thereby alleviating symptoms of lactose intolerance.
Lipids have many functions in the body as well as in foods. Select all of the statements that are true. Essential fatty acids must be supplied by food. Subcutaneous fat stores triglycerides and helps keep the body warm. Phospholipids are the "building blocks" for various proteins in the body. Phospholipids are a major component of plasma membranes. Phospholipids such as lecithin serve as antioxidants in foods. Cholesterol is used to make certain hormones. Triglycerides supply 7 kcal/g. Cholesterol provides 9 kcal/g.
