How to use this PowerPoint
• The majority of this PowerPoint is aimed for you to
complete the study on your own. USE YOUR TEXT BOOK!
• You will be making a portfolio of all the information you
have learnt.
• Instructions that are in red refer to what I expect to see in
your portfolio. Any extra information is fantastic!
• DON’T FORGET TO REFERENCE ANY WEBSITES OR
BOOKS YOU USE IN A BIBLIOGRAPHY!!!

Components of the human diet
A1
Nutrients
• Nutrients are chemicals found in food that the
body needs to function.
• Given the right raw materials, the human
body can manufacture many useful chemicals
from breaking down and reassembling other
chemicals.
• Essential nutrients are ones that the body
cannot manufacture. Therefore we have to
eat them regularly.
Questions
Research and answer these questions in full sentences:
• What are nutrients?
• What are essential nutrients?
• Give 2 examples of essential amino acids
• Give 2 examples of essential fatty acids
• Give 2 examples of essential minerals
• Give 2 examples of essential Vitamins
• Why is water so important in the diet?
• What are non-essential amino acids? Give 2 examples.
Malnutrition
• There are 3 main kinds of malnutrition:
• Not enough food
• Too much food
• Not the right type of food
• All can lead to health problems.
Kwashiorkor
• These children are
suffering from
Kwashiorkor – protein
deficiency.
• Explain why they have
swollen abdomens.
PKU
Research and answer the following questions in
detail and in full sentences:
1. What causes PKU?
2. What enzyme are sufferers of PKU unable to
produce? What are the consequences of this
(explain in full)?
3. How can PKU be controlled by early diagnosis?
4. How can PKU be controlled by diet?
Fatty Acids
Copy and complete this table to outline the differences between
the different structures of fatty acids:

implications
Fat diets across the world:
Introduction
• Read the information on this website and answer the
following questions:
• What are the benefits of eating eicosapentaenoic acid
(EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) from fish and
fish oils?
• What is hydrogenation? Why is it done?
• HDL stands for High Density Lipoproteins (often called
“good cholesterol). LDL stands for Low Density
Lipoproteins (“bad cholesterol). Using this
information, explain why hydrogenation is thought to
be bad for health.
Fat diets across the world:
Mediterranean diets
• How does eating a diet rich in olive oil help
reduce the levels of Coronary Heart Disease
(CHD) in Mediterranean populations?
• What else is in the Mediterranean diet that
might help reduce CHD? How does the article
say they protect cells from damage?
• What are the other benefits of MUFA?
Fat diets across the world:
Eskimo and Japanese diets
• Give 3 examples of fatty, cold-water fish. What
useful substances do they contain?
• What health benefits might this account for?
• How can you tell that it is not just Japanese
genetics that gives them these health benefits?
• What study led experts in the US to define a
weekly consumption of 1-2 servings of fish as
consistent with good health?
Fat diets across the world:
Analysing the studies
• Summarise the other dietary components and
non-dietary factors that contribute to the
health and well-being of the Mediterranean
and Japanese ethnic groups.
• Do you think there is enough evidence to
support the claims made by the studies in the
Mediterranean and Japan? Look at this
website before you answer!
Vitamins and Minerals
• Distinguish between the chemical structure of
Vitamins and Minerals – use Page 194 of your
text book.
• What does RDI stand for?
• What is the older method for calculating RDI?
• What is the more modern method?
Vitamin C
• Read this website and your text book P 194 – 5.
• What is the Vitamin C deficiency disease? Discuss how to
cure it.
• What is the difference between RDI, RDA and DRI?
• How much Vitamin C is needed to “saturate” the body?
What happens to any excess?
• The RDA of Vitamin C has changed over the years (see fig
1208 on p 195 of your text book). Why?
• What are the benefits and dangers / adverse effects of
taking more than the RDI of Vitamin C? (Give details)
• Read the TOK section on P 195 of your text book. Give your
response to the question asked.

Iodine is an essential mineral in the diet. In many parts of
the world children show symptoms of iodine deficiency.
Find out the answers to these questions:
How is iodine used in the human body?
What are the symptoms of iodine deficiency?
What would be the benefits of dietary supplementation
with iodine?
Would it be feasible to develop a world wide programme of
dietary iodine supplementation?
Are there other mineral deficiencies that are widespread
causes of malnutrition?
IB Question
• Discuss the importance of fibre in the diet.

Energy in Human diets
A2
IB Question
This question is taken from the specimen paper for 2008!
You don’t get more up to date than this! Use P 197 in your
text book to answer it.
Energy and Ethnicity
• “Staple” foods are eaten in bulk to provide
energy.
• Different cultures have different staple foods
due to availability, cultural preferences and
traditions.
• Make a poster showing different staple foods
from around the world and the cultures that
eat them.
Health consequences of diet
• Rearrange this table so the information it shows is
correct:
Diet contains lots
of…
Health consequences
Fat
Makes you feel full faster and for longer. Can also be
used for energy if necessary although this does
require the kidneys to excrete more urea which could
damage them.
Protein
Provides lots of energy which is beneficial before a
big sporting event. Excess can be turned into fat
causing obesity.
Carbohydrate
Contains lots of energy which could cause obesity.
Also linked to cancer of the colon.
Appetite control
• Copy and complete the flow chart on the next
slide to explain how appetite is controlled in
the brain
• Add annotations to explain what happens
when parts of this system stop working.
Start eating
Hormones from ___________

travel via the blood to the…
The ______ _______ _______
