1. When nutrition advocates became concerned that recommendations did not do
enough to address prevention of chronic diet related diseases what policy changes were made?
A) HIPPA
B) Choose my plate and food pyramid
C) RDA's expanded into several DRI categories
D) RDA generally increased, with some decreased
DRI - dietary reference intakes
RDA - recommended daily
allowance A DRI is a type of RDA
1. What is true of DRIs - Choose two
A) They are used to establish taxation rate and food costs
B) They are dependent on foodborne illness risks
C) Food labeling must include information about them
D) They differ depending on age and gender
Dietary Reference Intakes - system of nutritional recommendations from the Institute of Medicine,
introduced in 1997 in order to broaden the existing guidelines known as RDA
Food label must indicate how it aligns or doesn't align with DRI
DRI provides several different types of reference values such as:
Estimated Average Requirements (EAR) - expected to satisfy the needs of 50% of people in that
age group based on review of the scientific literature.
Recommended Daily Allowances (RDA) the daily dietary intake level of a nutrient considered
sufficient by the food and nutrition board of the institute of medicine to meet the requirements
of 97.5% of health individuals in each life stage and sex group. The definition implies that the
intake level would cause harmful nutrient deficiency in just 2.5%. It is calculated based on the
EAR and is usually approximately 20% higher that the EAR>
Adequate Intake - Where no RDA has been established, but the amount established is somewhat
less firmly believed to be adequate for everyone in the demographic group.
Tolerable upper intake levels - to caution against excessive intake of nutrients (like vit A) that can
be harmful in large amounts. This is the highest level of daily nutrient consumption that is
considered to be safe for and cause no s/e in 97.5% of healthy individuals in each life stage and
sex group. The definition implies that the intake level would cause a harmful nutrient excess in
just 2.5%
, Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Ranges (ADMR) a range of intake specified as a
percentage of total energy intake. Used for sources of energy, such as fats and CHO.
1. What is always found on nutrition labels in US
A) where ingredients grown
B) serving size
C) list of essential minerals
D) organic size of ingredients
Need to know how numbers on labels corresponds to what your eating.
Serving size and Servings per container, calories and calories from fat, total fate to include saturated
and trans fats, cholesterol and sodium, total CHO, dietary fiber, sugars, proteins, vitamins and minerals;
all will list % of daily value to the side. At bottom there is a chart of %DV based on 2000 calorie diets
which includes total fat (sat fat), cholesterol, sodium, total CHO and dietary fiber
1. A healthful diet contains nutrients intake near what amount.
A) Prescriptive Quantity Index PQI
B) Recommended Daily Allowance RDA
C) Healthful dietary Balance HDR
D) Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL)
RDA is still the most important DRI- RDA is generally the number you are striving for in daily diet
1. What is an appropriate use of AMDR when evaluating appropriateness of snack food?
A) 50% of calories from fat is too much
B) 50% of calories from CHO is too many
C) 3g of fiber is to many
D) AMDR is not appropriate tool for determining nutritional appropriateness
Fat 20-35%
CHO 44-65%
Protein 10-35%, 0.8gm-kg of body
weight These are the macronutrients
1. What is meant by "Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL)"
A) the amount of a nutrient an average person should get daily ensures people get enough of
a particular nutrient
B) a range of proportions of a nutrient a person should strive to get daily, allow for different
in weight and nutritional needs
C) highest level daily consumption that current data has shown to cause no side effects
in humans
