Anna is still confused about the difference between type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Which statement is characteristic of type 1 diabetes only?

Type 1 diabetes always involves insulin injections because the body is unable to produce insulin on its own. Type 2 diabetes, on the other hand, may be treated with lifestyle changes or oral medications before insulin is necessary.

Question 13

Vignette #1 You and your friend Karen are having lunch out and you order an iced tea. Karen sees you reach for the pink packet of Sweet 'N Low, stops your hand, and says, "Don't you know that stuff is bad for you? I read that it causes cancer, and I also know people who say that Equal, another nonnutritive sweetener, gives them headaches." As your conversation continues, let's show Karen how well informed you are concerning nonnutritive sweeteners by answering the following questions:
Neotame is a derivative of which two amino acids?

Accepted Answer

Neotame is a derivative of aspartic acid and phenylalanine.

The best choice for nonnutritive sweeteners varies depending on individual preference and health concerns. Some options include:

1. Stevia: derived from the leaves of the Stevia rebaudiana plant, stevia is a natural, calorie-free sweetener that has been used for centuries in South America. It does not raise blood sugar levels, making it a good option for people with diabetes.

2. Monk fruit extract: derived from the fruit of the Siraitia grosvenorii plant, monk fruit extract is a natural, calorie-free sweetener. It does not raise blood sugar levels and has antioxidant properties.

3. Erythritol: a sugar alcohol that is nearly calorie-free, erythritol is naturally present in some fruits and fermented foods. It does not raise blood sugar levels and is generally well-tolerated, though some people may experience digestive side effects.

Ultimately, the best choice for nonnutritive sweeteners depends on individual factors such as taste preferences, health concerns, and overall diet.

Question 14

Vignette #1 You and your friend Karen are having lunch out and you order an iced tea.

Which nonnutritive sweetener should be entirely avoided by individuals with phenylketonuria (PKU)?

Question 15

Vignette #1 You and your friend Karen are having lunch out and you order an iced tea. Karen sees you reach for the pink packet of Sweet 'N Low, stops your hand, and says, "Don't you know that stuff is bad for you? I read that it causes cancer, and I also know people who say that Equal, another nonnutritive sweetener, gives them headaches." As your conversation continues, let's show Karen how well informed you are concerning nonnutritive sweeteners by answering the following questions:
Although some studies in the past may have found that saccharin can cause bladder cancer in lab rats, why would it be considered safe today to continue using it?

Accepted Answer

Studies on lab rats used extremely high doses of saccharin that are not relevant to humans. In addition, studies in humans have not found a significant link between saccharin consumption and cancer. The American Medical Association's Council on Scientific Affairs also stated that saccharin increases the risk of bladder cancer only if consumed in soft drinks, and there are known hazards that are more important to avoid if you want to reduce your risk of cancer. Saccharin is allowed in other countries around the world, but the safety of food additives is evaluated independently in each country, so this should not be the sole basis for determining safety in the U.S.
