Question 1

In order for the Dietary Guidelines for Americans to be implemented, they must be ____.

Accepted Answer

The guidelines need to be translated into actionable behaviors for consumers in order to be implemented. While promotion by the media may help increase awareness, it alone will not ensure implementation. Comparing the guidelines with the Dietary Reference Intakes is important for ensuring nutrient adequacy, but it does not directly contribute to implementation. While reducing the number of guidelines may make them easier to remember, it could also oversimplify complex dietary recommendations.

Question 2

Based on current research, how would you rate the effectiveness of the dietary guidance information disseminated by the U.S. government to the population?

Accepted Answer

While there has been some impact of the dietary guidance information disseminated by the U.S. government, such as increased consumption of fruits and vegetables, there is still a considerable gap between what is recommended and what people actually eat. Additionally, issues such as nutrition misinformation and food marketing tactics contribute to poor dietary habits among consumers. Therefore, there is room for improvement in the dissemination and communication of nutrition information to help individuals make healthier choices.

Question 3

Food disappearance data has been available since ____.

Accepted Answer

Food disappearance data has been available since 1909, providing insights into food consumption trends over time.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

The Estimated Average Requirement (EAR) represents the amount of a nutrient that is estimated to meet the requirement for the nutrient in half of the people of a specific age and gender. The Adequate Intake (AI) is used when there is insufficient evidence to establish an RDA, while the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) represents the amount of a nutrient that is estimated to meet the requirement for the nutrient in almost all individuals in a specific age and gender group. The Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL) represents the highest level of daily nutrient intake that is likely to pose no risk of adverse health effects to almost all individuals in a specific age and gender group.

The other choices are not acceptable uses of the Dietary Reference Intakes - marketing products as "organic" does not relate to nutrient requirements, making health claims about a supplement requires a separate evaluation process, and the Dietary Reference Intakes are not designed for assessment of an individual's overall health status.

Question 12

One of the key recommendations from the Dietary Guidelines is: "Reduce daily sodium intake to less than 2,300 mg per day." This could be translated into which food-specific behavior?
