Study Notes

Nutritional Guidelines and Sources

  • Plant-based proteins from sources like nuts, dry peas, and beans can effectively substitute meat in children's diets.
  • Vitamins are added to processed bread and cereal to replace nutrient losses, ensuring they remain fortified.
  • Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs) assist in evaluating the nutrient contributions of an individual's diet.
  • Most children do not meet the recommended servings of fruits and vegetables daily.
  • Nutrient recommendations in the Dietary Guidelines for Americans form the basis of numerous federal nutrition programs.

Nutrient Composition and Energy Sources

  • Meat and seafood do not provide dietary fiber.
  • The Dietary Guidelines endorse various healthy lifestyle behaviors but do not support eliminating carbohydrates.
  • Missing fruits and vegetables from a child's diet limits the availability of high-quality protein.
  • Proteins and minerals are essential groups for building body tissues.
  • A five-year-old needs approximately 2.5 cups of milk daily for adequate calcium intake.
  • Varied food consumption is the best approach to meet children's daily nutrient requirements.
  • Key macro-nutrients yielding energy are proteins, fats, and carbohydrates.

Caloric and Nutritional Facts

  • Six grams of butter contribute 54 calories.
  • Proteins have diverse functions, including energy provision, body regulation, and tissue growth/repair.
  • The Dietary Guidelines recommend that no more than 30% of daily calories should come from fat, with vegetables and fruits contributing the least fat.
  • Swimming for 20 minutes does not justify consuming high-calorie treats like a candy bar or ice cream cone.
  • Carbohydrates are the primary source of energy for both adults and children, fulfilling their energy needs.

Digestion and Absorption

  • Starch, lactose, and sucrose require digestion before being utilized for energy.
  • Complete digestion of carbohydrates yields simple sugars, which are usable by the body.
  • Certain fat combinations, such as butter, milk, and cooking oils, are notably high in dietary fat.
  • Grain products are often enriched with folacin to prevent neural tube defects during fetal development.

Mineral and Vitamin Roles

  • Milk serves as a rich calcium source but is not considered a good iron source.
  • Fruit juice is not an adequate substitute for children's water needs.
  • Vitamin C enhances the absorption of iron and calcium from dietary sources.
  • Nutrient classes that promote growth do not typically include fats.
  • The end products of protein digestion are amino acids, with those not produced by the body classified as essential.
  • Insufficient iron intake in children can lead to anemia.
  • Fluoride impacts dental health positively, but it does not slow calcium absorption.
  • Vitamins support crucial processes such as cell division and new cell growth.
