These are types of studies used in nutrition

GER is more painful and frequent than GERD

the breakdown of liver stores of glycogen into glucose is prompted by this hormone when glucose levels are low

_____ is the physiologic sensation that prompts us to eat & ______ is the psychological desire to consume certain food.

This system ranks CHO rich food by how much they raise glucose levels

we require at least 100mg/day of major minerals: calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, sodium, potassium, chloride

Examples of Fat soluble vitamins

this type of diet contains the right combinations of foods to provide the proper proportions of nutrients

examples of Disaccharides include

examples of water soluble vitamins

Estimated average requirements are used to determine ___ of a nutrient

Most carbohydrate digestion occurs in the stomach

most fiber passes through our system without being digested/absorbed and contribute nothing to our diet

Nutrient claims ie. "free" "less" "good source of" are based on standard serving sizes for similar products

The 6 major classes of nutrients are carbohydrates, fats/oils, proteins, vitamins, minerals, water

Three forms of complex carbs are

This is the primary fuel source for the body providing 4kcal/gm and is found in grains, veg, fruits and legumes

AI

vitamins and minerals are known as macronutrients

soluble fibre is natural pectins/mucilage's/gums that absorbs H₂O & forms a gel, their effect on the small intestine is:

Water soluble vitamins are eliminated by the ______ and cannot be stored in our bodies

Glucose is the only source of energy for this body component

1 kcal = 4.184 kJ

This is the principle form of CHO found in the blood & is produced by photosynthesis

Our brain/nervous tissue primarily rely on fat for energy

vitamins are micronutrients that do NOT supply energy to our bodies

This enzyme is converted from HCL/Pepsinogen & begins to digest proteins & activates many other Gi enzymes for digestion

Which organ is primarily responsible for our hunger cues

DRI

These are chemicals found in foods that are critical to human growth and function

This polysaccharide is the storage form of glucose for humans/animals

Average intake level of a nutrient that will meet the needs of 1/2 healthy individuals in a particular life stage/gender

Process by which the molecules of food are taken from the GI tract to the bloodstream to the blood/lymph system

This is a hormone excreted by the beta cells of the pancreas in response to increased levels of glucose in the blood.

This refers to eating many different types of foods each day

which gastric juice is responsible for maintaining pH 2.0, killing bacteria and beginning to denature proteins

EER

This emulsifies fat in to pieces that are more easily digestable

The chemical components of carbohydrates include

these are composed of lipids & are insoluble in water, provide 9kcal/gm

On a nutrition label- these may be omitted for foods intended for children under 2

these are chains of amino acids, not a primary fuel source, provide 4kcal/gm and are an important source of nitrogen

This is an occasional painful sensation that occurs when hcl backs up into the esophagus

Another name for a complex CHO is _____

These are inorganic substances that have many functions: fluid regulation, bone structure, muscle movement, nerve func.

Fat soluble vitamins can be stored in the body and toxicity can occur by consuming excess amounts

This type of diet provides enough energy, nutrients, fibre, vitamins & minerals to support a persons health

This is the science that studies food and how food nourishes our body and influences our health

examples of simple monosaccharides include:

This is the region of the forebrain where visceral sensations such as hunger & thirst are regulated

Proteins are important for: building cells/tissues, maintaining bones, repairing damage, regulating metabolism

EAR

UL

In the mouth, these things begin to break down carbohydrates into shorter polysaccharides & maltose

This enzyme is responsible for fat digestion it begins a bit in the stomach and is more important in babies.

This system regulates the activities of the digestive tract

Which of the following is exempt from carrying nutrition information
