Question 11

Which of the following statements about the dietary reference intakes (DRI)is the most accurate?

Accepted Answer

The most accurate statement about the dietary reference intakes (DRI) is that they are for healthy individuals.

Question 20

According to the dietary reference intakes (DRI)committee,a diet should contain what percentage of its calories from carbohydrate?

Accepted Answer

The DRI committee suggests that a diet should contain 45-65% of its calories from carbohydrate. This is because carbohydrates are the primary source of energy for the body and help to fuel vital organs, such as the brain and central nervous system. Additionally, a diet that is high in complex carbohydrates, such as whole grains, fruits, and vegetables, may help to reduce the risk of chronic diseases, such as heart disease, diabetes, and certain cancers. However, it is important to note that not all carbohydrates are created equal and that it is best to focus on consuming complex, nutrient-dense sources rather than refined or processed carbohydrates.
