  9. Why is Nutrition Something We Need to study? Diet (what you eat) is considered a major cause of the top 3 causes of death: Heart disease (32%) Cancers (23%) Stroke (7%) 55% of the population are either overweight or obese Diabetes mellitus Arthritis High Blood Pressure

  10. Why do people choose the foods they do? • Personal Preference • Habit • Ethnic Tradition or Tradition • Social Interactions • Availability, Convenience or Economy

  11. Why study food chemistry? Carbohydrates Proteins Harvest Processing Additives Lipids Packaging Vitamins Storage Water Distribution Minerals Preparation Colorants Flavors Consumption

  12. Energy Yielding Nutrients (i.e. FUEL) • Lipids (or Fats) • Proteins • Carbohydrates • (energy is measured in calories or joules) • 1 calorie = 4.18 joules = • 1 kilocalorie (kcal) = 1 Cal = 1000 cal

  13. Calories per gram: Protein 1 Gram = 4 calories Carbohydrates 1 Gram = 4 calories Fat 1 Gram = 9 calories

  14. Variables which affect nutrient needs: 1. Age 2. Gender 3. Activity Level 4. Climate 5. Health 6. State of nutrition

  15. A “day in the life” of (22 year old active female) • Breakfast: orange juice, 2 cups of cantaloupe melon • Morning snack: an apple • Lunch: small tossed salad (lettuce,tomato, cucumber) • 2 glasses of water • Supper: medium tossed salad (lettuce, tomato, cucumber) with dressing • 1 cup steamed broccoli • 1 cups of cantaloupe melon • 1 can of diet pop

  16. What are the Principles of Diet-Planning?“ABCDMV” • Adequacy • Balance • kCalorie (Energy) Control • Nutrient Density • Moderation • Variety

  17. 13 items must be listed • Total fat • - saturated • - trans • cholesterol • sodium • carbohydrates • - fibre • - sugar • protein • vitamin A • vitamin C • calcium • iron
