“You are what you eat” “Healthy” Foods? Food Pyramid LIPIDS: FATS Top of the pyramid MOST important More is NOT better; need 30 g/day 14 g 11 g 20g 25g What are trans-fat or partially-hydrogenated butter and lard are solids. Vegetable oils were cheaper, but as liquids they were not a suitable alternative. A chemical process called hydrogenation was developed that converts vegetable oils into saturated, more solid fats (margarine and vegetable shortening). Partialhydrogenation lowered the content of saturated fat in vegetable shortening and margarine, but also dramatically increased the amount of a certain kind of fat - trans fat - in our diets. http://people.umass.edu/ktheis/tfa.htm POLYPEPTIDES: PROTEINS “Can’t get out what you don’t put in” What is a serving? Eight essential amino acids - need to include every day Variety is key Amino Acids * essential Peptide Bonds NUTRIENTS: FRUITS AND VEGETABLES More color = more nutrients. should be the foundation of your diet Are all considered CARBOHYDRATES Vitamin pill not the same Supplements ? Federal Regulation of Dietary Supplements The Federal Government regulates through the FDA. The regulations for dietary supplements are not the same as those for prescription or over-the-counter drugs. In general, the regulations for dietary supplements are less strict. A manufacturer does NOT have to prove the safety and effectiveness of a dietary supplement before it is marketed. A manufacturer’s claim must be followed by the words "This statement has not been evaluated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease." Manufacturers are expected to follow certain "good manufacturing practices" (GMPs) to ensure that dietary supplements are processed consistently and meet quality standards. Once a dietary supplement is on the market, the FDA monitors safety. If it finds a product to be unsafe, it can take action against the manufacturer and/or distributor, and may issue a warning or require that the product be removed from the marketplace.

POLYSACCARIDES: SUGARS FUEL = PURE ENERGY ADD MORE IF NEEDED CUT IF NOT NEEDED ONE pound fat = 3500 calories Disaccharide Formation Polysaccarides: Cellulose=fiber High-fructose corn syrup High-fructose corn syrup is a common sweetener and preservative. High-fructose corn syrup is made by changing the sugar (glucose) in cornstarch to fructose — another form of sugar. The end product is a combination of fructose and glucose. Because it extends the shelf life of processed foods and is cheaper than sugar, high-fructose corn syrup has become a popular ingredient in many sodas, fruit-flavored drinks and other processed foods. Standard HFCS comes in 3 varieties: HFCS 90 which is approximately 90% fructose and 10% glucose; HFCS 55 which is approximately 55% fructose and 45% glucose; and HFCS 42 which is approximately 42% fructose and 58% glucose. WATER Necessary to digest food. STOP EATING = LOSE WATER WEIGHT Start eating = gain it back Organic Food http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SjCwJUAAeUk the National Organic Standards Board of the USDA established a national standard for the term "organic." "Organic" does not mean "natural.“ There is no legal definition as to what constitutes a "natural" food. However, the food industry uses the term "natural" to indicate that a food has been minimally processed and is preservativefree. Natural foods can include organic foods, but not all natural foods are organic. NATURAL? YES NOT ? No preservatives Min. Processing Organic food, defined by how it can NOT be made rather than how it can be made: must be produced without the use of sewer-sludge fertilizers, most synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, genetic engineering (biotechnology), growth hormones, irradiation or antibiotics it “Organic” ?
