101. Why is it important to eat a variety of foods within the same food group from day to day?
Variety improves nutrient adequacy. People should select foods from each of the food
ANSWER:
groups daily and vary their choices within each group for several reasons. First, different
foods within the same group contain different arrays of nutrients. Among the fruits group,
for example, strawberries are especially rich in vitamin C while apricots are rich in vitamin
A. Second, no food is guaranteed to be entirely free of substances that, in excess, could be
harmful. The strawberries might contain trace amounts of one contaminant, the apricots
another. By alternating fruit choices, a person will ingest very little of either contaminant.
Third, as the adage goes, variety is the spice of life. A person who eats beans frequently
can enjoy pinto beans in Mexican burritos today, garbanzo beans in a Greek salad
tomorrow, and baked beans with barbecued chicken on the weekend. Eating nutritious
meals need never be boring.

five years. Each edition shares some similarities with previous editions but also sets
precedent in new ways. For example, the current edition, the 2015-2020 Dietary
Guidelines for Americans, focuses on eating patterns—the foods and beverages a person
consumes over time. This edition recognizes that “healthy eating patterns and regular
physical activity can help people achieve and maintain good health and reduce the risk of
chronic disease throughout all stages of the lifespan.
The controversy surrounding the release of the 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for
Americans is a reminder that food politics plays an ongoing role in defining nutrition policy
and healthy recommendations. While most nutrition professionals applauded the work of
the Dietary Guidelines committee and its scientific report, many objected to the final report,
which had been substantially revised, claiming that those revisions reflected the special
interests of the food industry and politicians. Specific wording became vague and a new
chapter on sustainable diets had been deleted. Food sustainability recognizes that foods
and beverages have a large environmental impact—from farm to plate to waste—and that
a sustainable food supply is essential to a healthy population and planet both for today and
in the future. Many in the food industry opposed the inclusion of sustainability and
convinced politicians that sustainability was outside the scope of providing dietary
guidance.

The USDA created MyPlate as an educational tool to illustrate the five food groups and
ANSWER:
remind consumers to make healthy food choices from each of the five food groups. The
MyPlate icon divides a plate into four sections, each representing a food group—fruits,
vegetables, grains, and protein foods. The sections vary in size, indicating relative
proportion each food group contributes to a healthy diet. A circle next to the plate
represents the milk group (dairy). The MyPlate icon does not stand alone as an educational
tool. It is accompanied by a wealth of information on the website
(www.choosemyplate.gov). Consumers can choose the kinds and amounts of foods they
need to eat each day based on their height, weight, age, gender, and activity level.
Information is also available for children, pregnant and lactating women, and for
vegetarians. In addition to creating a personal plan, consumers can find daily tips to help
them improve their diet and increase physical activity. A key message of the website is to
enjoy food, but eat less by avoiding oversized portions.

105. Define processed, refined, enriched, fortified, and whole-grain foods.
Processed foods are foods that have been treated to change their physical, chemical,
ANSWER:
microbiological, or sensory properties. Fortified foods are foods to which one or more
nutrients that were not original to the food or were present in insignificant amounts only
have been added.Refined foods are those to which the coarse parts of a food are removed.
When wheat is refined into flour, for example, the bran, germ, and husk are removed,
leaving only the endosperm. Enriched foods are those in which specific nutrients lost
during the food’s processing have been replaced so that the food meets a specified
standard. Whole grain is a grain product that maintains the same relative proportions of
starchy endosperm, germ, and bran (but not the husk) as was in the original grain.

that all labels for a given product use the same serving size.
Nutrient Quantities: In addition to the serving size and the servings per container, the
content of kcalories and select nutrients must be provided. The content of the nutrient
must be given in both a quantity (such as grams) and as a percentage of the nutrient’s

109. Other than the Nutrition Facts panel, what other information on the food label can help consumers identify healthier
food choices?
ANSWER:
The Ingredient List:All packaged foods must list all ingredients. The ingredients are listed
in descending order of predominance by weight. Knowing that the first ingredient
predominates by weight, consumers can learn much about the products. Compare the

ingredients of these cereal products, for example: One begins “puffed mill corn, sugar,
corn syrup, molasses, salt…: The other begins “100 percent rolled oats.” In this
comparison, consumers can see that the second product is more nutrient dense.
Front of package labels: Some food manufacturers use front-of-package labels that
incorporate text, color and icons to present key nutrient facts. In general, consumers find
front-of-package labeling a quick and easy way to select products.
Nutrient claims on labels: Have you noticed phrases such as “good source of fiber” on a
box of cereal or “rich in calcium” on a package of cheese? These and other nutrient claims
may be used on labels so long as they meet FDA definitions, which include the conditions
under which each term can be used. For example, in addition to having less than 2
milligrams of cholesterol, a “cholesterol-free” product may not contain more than 2 grams
of saturated fat and trans fat combined per serving. The accompanying glossary defines
nutrient terms on food labels, including criteria for foods described as “low,” “reduced,” and
“free.” When nutrients have been added to enriched or fortified products, they must appear
in the ingredients list. Some descriptions imply that a food contains, or does not contain, a
nutrient. Implied claims are prohibited unless they meet specified criteria. For example, a
claim that a product “contains no oil” implies that the food contains no fat. If the product is
truly fat-free, then it may make the no-oil claim, but if it contains another source of fat, such
as butter, it may not.
Health claims on labels: Health claims describe a relationship between a food (or food
component) and a disease or health-related condition. In some cases, the FDA authorizes
health claims based on an extensive review of the scientific literature. For example, the
health claim that “Diets low in sodium may reduce the risk of high blood pressure” is based
on enough scientific evidence to establish a clear link between diet and health. In cases
where there is emerging—but not established—evidence for a relationship between a food
or food component and disease, the FDA allows the use of qualified health claims that
must use specific language indicating that the evidence supporting the claim is limited. A
qualified health claim might claim that “Very limited and preliminary research suggests that
eating one-half to one cup of tomatoes and/or tomato sauce a week may reduce the risk of
prostate cancer. The FDA concludes that there is little scientific evidence supporting the
claim.”
Structure-function claims on labels: Unlike health claims, which require food manufacturers
to collect scientific evidence and petition the FDA, structure-function claims can be made
without any FDA approval. Product labels can claim to “slow aging,” “improve memory,”
and “build strong bones” without any proof. The only criterion for a structure-function claim
is that it must not mention a disease or symptom. Unfortunately, structure-function claims
can be deceptively similar to health claims, and most consumers do not distinguish
between different types of claims.

110. List and discuss the health benefits of a vegetarian diet.
Healthier body weight: Vegetarians tend to maintain a lower and healthier body weight
ANSWER:
than non-vegetarians. In general, those who eat meat have higher energy intakes and body
weights. Vegetarians’ lower body weights correlate with their high intakes of fiber and low
intakes of fat.

Page 40
Chapter 02
Reduced risk of diabetes: Obesity and weight gains are strong risk factors for diabetes,
which partially explains why non-vegetarian diets are more often associated with diabetes
than vegetarian diets. Even when body weight and life-style factors are taken into account,
vegetarian eating patterns seem to protect against diabetes.
Reduced risk of hypertension: Vegetarians tend to have lower blood pressure and lower
rates of hypertension than non-vegetarians. Appropriate body weight helps to maintain a
healthy blood pressure, as does a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol and high in
fiber, fruits, vegetables, whole grains, low-fat milk products, and protein from plant
sources.
Decreased risk of heart disease: Meat is associated with an increased risk of heart
disease and stroke. The incidence of heart disease and related deaths and the
concentrations of blood cholesterol are lower for vegetarians than for non-vegetarians,
which can partly be explained by their avoidance of meat. The dietary factor most directly
related to heart disease is saturated animal fat, and in general, vegetarian diets are lower
in total fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol than typical meat-based diets. The fats common
in plant-based diets—the monounsaturated fats of olives, seeds, and nuts and the
polyunsaturated fats of vegetable oils—are associated with a decreased risk of heart
disease. Furthermore, vegetarian diets are generally higher in dietary fiber, antioxidant
vitamins, and phytochemicals—all factors that help control blood lipids and protect against
heart disease. Many vegetarians include soy products such as tofu in their diets. Soy
products—with their polyunsaturated fats, fibers, vitamins, and minerals, and little
saturated fat—may help to protect against heart disease.
Lower risk of cancer: Vegetarians have a lower overall cancer incidence than the general
population. Their low cancer rates may be due to their high intakes of fruits and
vegetables. Some scientific findings indicate that vegetarian diets are associated not only
with lower cancer mortality in general, but also with lower incidence of cancer at specific
sites as well, most notably, colon cancer. People with colon cancer seem to eat more
meat. Some cancer experts recommend limiting consumption of red meat to no more than
11 ounces a week, with very little (if any) processed meat.
Lower risk of osteoporosis, diverticular disease, gallstones, cataracts, and rheumatoid
arthritis: Vegetarian diets may help prevent these diseases and conditions.
