nonnutritive sweeteners have been deemed unsafe, and their use is not supported by many reputable health agencies.

both statements are false. they are safe, and are supported.

nonnutritive sweeteners do nothing to appease the appetite, but they do provide the pleasure of sweetness. the may enable patients to choose a wide variety of foods or improve taste appeal of healthy products, such as oatmeal, while managing caloric or cariogenic intake.

both statements are true

nonnutritive sweetenersare not fermentable and do not promote caries formation; antimicrobial activity has been observed. Saccharin and aspartame exhibit microbial inhibition and caries supression.

both statements are true

Be aware of the amount of sugars in processed foods. Sugar may be identified as any of the following on food labels:

sucrose, fructose, corn sweetner, cane sugar, evaporated cane juice, honey, molasses, high fructose corn syrup, raw sugar, and maple syrup. **try to avoid foods if one of these is listed as the first ingredient

A 1st statement is true. 2nd statement is false. You should inform your patient that using more than 3-4 pieces of sugar alcohol-containing items daily may cause gastrointestinal disease.

Scientific studies do not support the claim that sugars interefere with bioavailability of vitamins, minerals, or trace nutrients, or the notion that dietary imbalances are preferentially caused by increased sugar consumption. Therefore, we should assume that because a patient is obese, increased sugar intake is the culprit. a. the first statement is true, the second is false. b. the first statement is false, the second statement is true. c. both are false d. both are true

A, the first statement is true, the second is false.

A tablespoon of honey has more calories than a tablespoon of sugar and only trace amounts of other nutrients. Honey is not appropriate for children younger that 1 because of the risk of botulism. its retentive nature makes honey more cariogenic than refined sugar.

All statements are true.

Ketosis can occur in patients with uncontrolled diabetes or in individuals who have inadequate carb intake, such as those who are ill or are following a high-protein, very low carb regimen because they are burning fat rather than carbohydrates. Among other concerns, ketosis creates a disturbance in the patient's acid-base balance. Question patients with acetone or fruity-smelling breath about their recent dietary intake.

All statements are true.

Concerns are not about consumption of individual types of sugar but rather about over consumption of added sugar. Recommendations should focus on choosing nutrient-dense foods.

Both statements are true.

Fiber tends to regulate the transit rate of foods in the gastrointestinal trace. The best source of dietary fiber to relieve constipation is bran, but it must be initiated slowly to avoid severe gas and bloating.

sugar increases palatibility and may improve choices of certain foods otherwise disliked. Combining sugar with other nutritious foods, as in milk used for pudding, may increase the variety of foods consumed and enjoyed. a. the first statement is true, the second is false. b. the first statement is false, the second statement is true. c. both are false d. both are true

D, both are true.

A diet with adequate amounts of carbohydrates helps to maintain glycogen reserves, while a diet high in fat and very low carbohydrates results in poor glycogen reserves.

D, both statements are true.

All disaccharides contain the same caloric and nutrient content. The body is not able to distinguish between natural honey, refined table sugar, or HFCS; absorption and metabolism are similar to their component sugars. a. the first statement is true, the second is false. b. the first statement is false, the second statement is true. c. both are false d. both are true

D, both statements are true.

T/F All caloric sugars can be metabolized by plaque biofilm.

FALSE Oral bacteria are unable to metabolize xylitol, which is a calorie-containing sugar alcohol.

T/F Excessive consumption of carbs is the main cause of obesity.

FALSE excessive caloric intake leads to obesity, whether from carbs, proteins, fats, or alcohol.

T/F Eliminating sucrose from the diet prevents development of dental caries.

FALSE many other factors including consumption of other fermentable carbs, contribute to development of caries.

T/F Glucose is the same thing as table sugar

FALSE sucrose is table sugar

T/F raw sugar is nutritionally superior to white sugar.

FALSE the FDA has labeled raw sugar as unfit for direct use as a food ingredient becauase of the impurities it contains.

T/F The desire for sweetness in the diet is an acquired taste.

FALSE the desire for sweetness is not considered an acquired taste because newborn infants exhibit a preference for it.

T/F The desire for sweetness int eh diet is an acquired taste.

FALSE the desire for sweetness is not considered an acquired taste because newborn infants exhibit a preference for it.

The most important cause of dental caries is the amount of fermentable carbs consumed that supply substrate to caries-producing bacteria.

FALSE, it is the frequency not the amount

When an individual strives to reduce caloric intake, carbs should be eliminated.

FALSE. even when an individual strives to reduce caloric intake, carbs are important, especially veggies, fruits, and whole-grain breads and cereals, to provide vital nutrients.

_____ helps reduce constipation, diverticulitis, heart disease, and the risk of some cancers

FIber

Sugar alcohols are fermented alcohols and need to be restricted by individuals suffering from alcoholism.

False they are NOT fermneted, and DONT need to be restricted for individuals with alcoholism.

Increasing dietary fiber while also increasing total energy intake may lead to improvements in gastrointestinal health and blood pressure, reduce body fat stores, and lower risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), and type 2 diabetes.
