Trans fats ✔✔Fatty acids that are produced when polyunsaturated oils are hydrogenated to make
them more solid
High-density lipoproteins (HDL) ✔✔Compounds that facilitate the transport of cholesterol in the
blood to the liver for metabolism and elimination from the body
Fats ✔✔Basic nutrients composed of carbon and hydrogen molecules; needed for the proper
functioning of cells, insulation of body organs against shock, maintenance of body temperature,
and healthy skin and hair
Daily values (DV) ✔✔The RDIs and DRVs together make up these, seen on food and
supplement labels
Cellulose ✔✔Fiber; major form of complex carbohydrates
Vitamins ✔✔Essential organic compounds that promote growth and reproduction and help
maintain life and health
,Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDA) ✔✔The average daily intakes of energy and nutrients
considered adequate to meet the needs of most healthy people in the United States under usual
conditions
Dietary Reference Intake (RDI) ✔✔A set of nutritional values, new combined listing, including
more than 26 essential vitamins and minerals, that apply to healthy people
Saturated fats ✔✔Fats that are unable to hold anymore hydrogen in their chemical structure;
derived mostly from animal sources; solid at room temperature
U. S. Recommended Daily Allowances (USRDA) ✔✔Dietary guidelines developed by the FDA
and the USDA
Cholesterol ✔✔A form of fat circulating in the blood that can accumulate on the inner walls of
arteries
Adequate intake (AI) ✔✔Best estimates of nutritional needs
, Polysaccharide ✔✔A complex carbohydrate formed by the combination of long chains of
saccharides
Hemochromatosis ✔✔Iron toxicity due to excess consumption
Complex carbohydrates ✔✔A major type of carbohydrate; provides sustained energy
Low-density lipoproteins (LDL) ✔✔Compounds that facilitate the transport of cholesterol in the
blood to the body's cells
Trace minerals ✔✔Minerals that the body needs in only very small amounts
Disaccharide ✔✔A combination of two monosaccharides
Essential amino acids ✔✔Nine of the basic nitrogen-containing building blocks of protein that
must be obtained from foods to ensure health
Minerals ✔✔Inorganic, indestructible elements that aid physiological processes
