Study Notes
Nutrition Basics
- Calcium provides zero kcal; it is a mineral with no caloric content.
- Nutrition is the science linking food to health, emphasizing the importance of dietary choices.
Health Risks and Diet
- Poor diet and inactivity contribute to diabetes, hypertension, obesity, and cardiovascular disease.
- Risk factors for health issues include heredity, lifestyle choices, and nutritional habits.
Scientific Method
- Steps of the scientific method: form a hypothesis, conduct experiments, analyze results, accept or reject the hypothesis.
- Control group in experiments receives no treatment to provide a baseline for comparison.
Essential Nutrients
- Major classes of essential nutrients: water, lipids, carbohydrates.
- Characteristics of essential nutrients: their omission causes functional decline; restoration is possible if reintroduced.
Beverages and Water
- Water is the healthiest beverage choice; it serves as a solvent, lubricant, and temperature regulator.
- Most lipids are insoluble in water, making them distinct from other nutrients.
Nutrient Caloric Content
- Nutritional energy: 10g carbohydrates yield 40 kcal, 5g fat yields 45 kcal, and 4g protein yields 16 kcal.
- Alternative names for lipids include oils and fats.
Vitamins and Minerals
- Minerals are simple, inorganic substances often found in groups of the same atoms.
- Osteoporosis is a chronic disease characterized by decreased bone mass, influenced by age, genetics, and diet.
Body Weight and Measurement
- Weight conversion: 60 kilograms is approximately 132 pounds.
- General volume equivalents: 4 cups and 1 quart equal about one liter.
Phytochemicals and Their Sources
- Examples of phytochemicals:
- Phytosterols are found in soybeans.

- Flavonoids are found in citrus fruits, onions, apples, grapes, and chocolate.
- Polyphenols are abundant in blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries.
Obesity and Health Conditions
- Main causes of obesity in Americans: insufficient physical activity and excessive calorie intake.
- A stroke results from decreased or lost blood flow to the brain, a serious medical condition.
Chemical Bonds
- A bond is a linkage between two atoms formed by the sharing of electrons.
Volume and Prefixes
- Prefix "micro-" signifies a measurement of 1/1,000,000, indicating very small quantities.
