Study Notes
Beans and Gas
- Beans are coated with a type of sugar that the body can't easily break down.
- The body needs help from bacteria to digest the beans' sugars and fiber, which produces gas.
- The gas produced is not usually very stinky.
Milk and Dairy Products
- Milk contains nutrients that help young animals grow strong and healthy.
- Milk is made up of proteins, sugars, fats, vitamins, minerals, and water.
- Calcium is an important mineral in milk that helps build strong bones and teeth.
- Whole milk has all of the natural butterfat, while reduced-fat milk has some of the butterfat removed, and skim milk has almost no fat.
- Cheese is made by curdling milk and adding bacteria or molds to help with the curdling process.
- Some cheeses, like Limburger and Roquefort, have a strong smell due to the bacteria and molds used in their production.
Food Groups and Healthy Eating
- Knowing about different food groups helps make good decisions about what to eat.
- Foods can be packed with nutrients (like fruits and vegetables) or have few to no nutrients (like junk food and sweets).
- Eating a balanced diet with plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and healthy proteins can help keep the body healthy and strong.
- Drinking lots of water and avoiding sugary drinks are also important for good health.
- A healthy meal should include a variety of food groups, with about a quarter of the plate dedicated to each group.
Beans and Food Groups

- As vegetables, beans provide important vitamins, minerals, and fiber.
- As proteins, beans contain the building blocks the body uses to build hair, toenails, and other tissues.
