Study Notes

Mayonnaise and Emulsifiers

Mayonnaise is composed of oil, salt, vinegar (or lemon juice), and egg yolks.
Lecithin in egg yolks serves as an emulsifier, allowing fat and water to mix.

Saturated Fat Intake

Adults should limit saturated fat to less than 10% of total daily calories.
For a 3000 kcal diet, saturated fat intake should be under 33 grams.
For a 2500 kcal diet, the limit is about 250 calories.

Fatty Acids

Oleic acid is a monounsaturated fatty acid with one double bond.
Stearic acid is a saturated fatty acid with no double bonds.

Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors

Elevated C-reactive protein (CRP), smoking, inactivity, and high blood pressure (≥130/80 mm Hg) are risk factors.
Low HDL cholesterol levels (31 mg/dL) also increase risk.

Fish Consumption during Pregnancy

Pregnant women should avoid fish high in methylmercury like swordfish.

Essential Fatty Acid Deficiency Signs

Signs include poor wound healing, poor growth in infancy, and hair loss.

Understanding Chylomicrons

Chylomicrons do not store fatty acids in the liver, but transport them from the intestines.

Atherosclerosis Impact

Contributes to cardiovascular disease by slowing blood flow and causing arterial plaque formation.

Sources of EPA and DHA

Tuna casserole is a rich source of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).

Non-Modifiable CVD Risk Factors

Non-modifiable risk factors include family history of cardiovascular disease and age.

Fats and Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids

Safflower oil (high in linoleic), corn oil, peanut oil, lard (pork fat), and beef fat are ranked by polyunsaturated fat content.

Macronutrient Distribution Range

A 2100 kcal diet should have fat intake between 420 to 735 kcal.

Protein RDA for Adults

A healthy 25-year-old woman (153 lbs) should consume approximately 55.6 grams of protein.
A healthy 25-year-old man (85 kg) needs around 68.0 grams.

Dietary Patterns

Vegetarian diets typically provide more dietary fiber compared to Western diets.

Amino Acid Metabolism

When amino acids are used for energy, ammonia forms and is converted to urea for urine excretion.

Legumes

Legumes include plants that produce pods with seeds, such as soybeans, peanuts, and lentils.

Protein Structure

There are 20 amino acids that make up proteins, with the sequence determining the protein's identity and function.

Nutritional Practices to Prevent Deficiencies

Aiming for a variety of fruits and vegetables can help with vitamin intake and cancer risk reduction.

Vitamin Requirements and Sources

Essential vitamins include vitamin D (for calcium absorption), vitamin A (for vision), and others with antioxidant properties like vitamin E and vitamin C.

Antioxidants and Cancer Risk

Vitamins E, C, and beta-carotene exhibit antioxidant properties, potentially reducing cancer risk.

Healthy Weight Management

Strategies for healthy weight include meal planning, limiting sedentary activities, and incorporating physical exercise.

Fad Diets

Fad diets gain popularity quickly and can lead to rapid weight changes, often not sustainable long-term.

Body Fat Measurement Methods

Bioelectrical impedance and skinfold thickness measurements are practical methods to estimate body fat.

Energy Balance

Achieving a healthy body weight relies on balancing caloric intake with energy expenditure through diet and physical activity.

Psychological Effects of Dieting

Long-term weight management requires understanding energy balance and nutritional needs while avoiding extreme diets.### Nutrition and Physiology
Sports drinks are critical for hydration during runs over an hour, supplying carbohydrates, electrolytes, and water to prevent dehydration and enhance performance.
Aging results in increased heartburn, constipation, and the hardening of arteries, while decreasing saliva production, bone-forming cell activity, brain weight, cardiac output, thyroid hormone levels, and kidney cell function.

Pesticides and Food Safety

Washing produce significantly reduces pesticide residues.
Pesticides are utilized to boost crop yields, enhancing agricultural productivity.

Infant Nutrition and Safety

Unpasteurized or raw milk may contain harmful bacteria and viruses, unsuitable for children.
Honey should be avoided in infants under one year due to the risk of botulism from clostridium botulinum spores.
Certain foods such as candy, whole nuts, coarsely cut meats, raw carrots, and popcorn pose choking hazards for infants over six months.
Semisolid foods should not be fed in a bottle due to the risk of overfeeding and potential for digestive issues.

Environmental and Health Considerations

Conventional farming poses environmental challenges; recommended solutions include adopting pest-resistant crops and integrated pest management strategies.
Plumpy'nut, a nutritional supplement for malnourished children, contains peanuts, powdered milk, oil, and sugar.

Pregnancy and Infant Development

Iron intake is crucial for pregnant women, especially during the first trimester, to address public health concerns.
The pituitary gland releases prolactin to stimulate milk production and oxytocin for the let-down reflex, allowing breast milk transfer through ducts to the nipple.

Infant Feeding Guidelines

Honey is hazardous for infants as it may contain botulism spores.
The development of a human being is categorized into an embryo for the first eight weeks and a fetus thereafter, with the placenta facilitating nutrient transfer from mother to fetus.
Full-term infants typically weigh between six and eight pounds; those below 5.5 pounds are classified as low-birth-weight.

Breastfeeding Insights

The absence of oxytocin during breastfeeding prevents the let-down reflex, hindering milk delivery.
Cow's milk is inappropriate for infants due to its high sodium and calcium levels, which can cause intestinal issues and iron deficiency.

Child Feeding Practices

Recommended practices include offering a variety of nutritious foods, introducing peanut butter safely, and avoiding honey until age one.
Discouraged practices involve forcing vegetable consumption for dessert rewards, encouraging children to finish their plates, and allowing breakfast omission.

Food Safety

Foods that fall within the danger zone for temperature (between 40°F and 140°F) can risk foodborne illnesses; examples include macaroni salad at 55°F and rotisserie chicken at 130°F.
Iron-fortified cereals are excellent sources of iron for infants around eight months old.
