Accepted Answer

The Mediterranean diet emphasizes the consumption of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein such as fish and poultry, which makes choice A the best option. Beans and peas are also commonly consumed in a Mediterranean diet, so reducing intake of them would not be recommended. Fish and seafood are important sources of omega-3 fatty acids, so decreasing intake of them would not align with the Mediterranean diet pattern. Red meat intake is generally limited in the Mediterranean diet, so increasing it would not be recommended.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

The FDA allows health claims that are supported by scientific evidence. The statement about folate and reducing the risk of birth defects is an example of a qualified health claim that the FDA permits.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

MyPlate is a guide created by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) that encourages individuals to consume balanced meals with appropriate portions of fruits, vegetables, grains, protein, and dairy. It provides a visual representation of what a healthy meal should look like, making it a useful tool for menu planning. Daily Values and Recommended Dietary Allowances are guides for assessing nutrient intake, while Basic Four Food Groups is an outdated guide that was replaced by MyPlate.

Question 7

Max wants to increase his intake of vitamin C without taking a dietary supplement.When he shops for food,he reads Nutrition Facts labels.Which of the following kinds of information will help him choose foods that are the richest sources of vitamin C?

Accepted Answer

%DVs (Percent Daily Values) on Nutrition Facts labels will indicate how much of the daily recommended intake of vitamin C is in one serving of the food. By choosing foods with a higher %DV for vitamin C, Max can increase his intake of the nutrient without taking supplements. Structure/function claims, organic food logos, and country of origin information do not provide information about the nutrient content of the food.

Question 8

You are planning a party for a group of college students.Some of the students follow the dietary practices of the Jewish religion.Which of the following foods would be acceptable to everyone at the party?

Accepted Answer

The cheese ball made with cream cheese and cheddar cheese would be acceptable for everyone as it complies with Jewish dietary laws, which prohibit the mixing of meat and dairy products.

Accepted Answer

The Mediterranean diet includes moderate consumption of red wine, which has been shown to have cardiovascular benefits. Increasing intake of meat and seeds or decreasing intake of grains is not recommended as they do not align with the Mediterranean diet. Similarly, replacing fish with eggs is not recommended as fish is a key component of the Mediterranean diet.

Question 10

Review the following claims that a manufacturer wants to include on the labels of packaged foods.Which one would the FDA allow to be used?

Accepted Answer

The best choice allowed by the FDA is the claim that "While many factors contribute to the development of heart disease, diets low in saturated fat and trans fat may reduce the risk of this disease." This is because it is a qualified health claim that has been approved by the FDA. Claim A is a structure/function claim, which is allowed but does not require FDA approval. Claim B is an unauthorized claim that is not supported by sufficient evidence, and Claim C contains both a nutrient content claim and an unauthorized health claim.

Question 11

Which of the following standards can help you compare nutrient contents of packaged foods to make more healthful choices?

Accepted Answer

DVs (Daily Values) are a set of standards developed by the FDA that appear on food labels and can help consumers compare nutrient contents of packaged foods to make more healthful choices. They are based on a 2,000 calorie diet and provide information on the percent daily value of different nutrients in a serving of the food. RDAs (Recommended Dietary Allowances) and AIs (Adequate Intakes) are nutrient intake recommendations for individuals, while ULs (Tolerable Upper Intake Levels) are the highest levels of nutrient intake that are unlikely to cause adverse health effects.

Question 13

Theodore is an 18-year-old college student who would like to improve his health by following a Mediterranean diet pattern instead of his current "Western" diet.Based on this information,he should

Accepted Answer

The Mediterranean diet emphasizes plant-based foods such as legumes, whole grains, fruits, and vegetables. It also includes moderate amounts of fish and seafood, and limited amounts of red meat and dairy products. Therefore, substituting legumes for cheeses is a good choice for Theodore to follow a Mediterranean diet pattern. Drinking wine in moderation may be a part of the Mediterranean diet but it is not necessarily required or recommended for a college student like Theodore. Pork and lamb are not the preferred sources of protein in the Mediterranean diet, while eggs and poultry should be consumed in moderation.

Question 14

Which of the following resources is a useful dietary analysis tool?

Accepted Answer

The "What's in the food you eat Search Tool" is a dietary analysis tool provided by the USDA that allows users to search for nutrient information on various foods.

Question 15

You are planning a party for a group of 22-year-old college students.Some of the students follow the dietary practices of the religion of Islam.Which of the following beverages would be acceptable to everyone at the party?

Accepted Answer

Energy drinks that contain caffeine are not acceptable for those following Islamic dietary practices as caffeine is considered a stimulant and prohibited in Islam. Regular coffee with sugar and cream may also not be acceptable as Muslims do not consume alcohol and many creams contain alcohol-derived ingredients. "Lite" beers may also not be acceptable as alcohol is prohibited in Islam. The safest choice would be iced punch made with fruit juices and carbonated water as it does not contain any prohibited ingredients. However, it is important to check the ingredients and ensure that all the fruit juices used are halal-certified.

This equates to about 50 grams or 12 teaspoons of added sugars per day for a person consuming a 2000 calorie diet. Consuming excessive amounts of added sugars has been linked to various health problems, such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, and heart disease. Therefore, it is important to limit intake of added sugars and choose whole foods that are naturally sweetened to meet our nutritional needs.

Kristan uses % DVs to help plan nutritious menus with various packaged foods.She should try to obtain at least 100% of the Daily Value for which of the following nutrients?

Accepted Answer

Kristan should try to obtain at least 100% of the Daily Value for Vitamin C as this nutrient is important for the immune system and overall health. However, she should try to limit her intake of sodium, fat, and added sugars as high levels of these nutrients can lead to various health issues.
