How can you limit your intake of fats and cholesterol
Is answer to question 1 C ?
Correct
1) The type of fat that is not naturally found in foods and should be very little in your diet is C. trans fat. Trans fat is artificially produced by adding hydrogen to liquid vegetable oils, creating a solid or semi-solid fat. This process is known as hydrogenation. Trans fats are commonly found in processed foods, fried foods, and some baked goods.
To determine the correct answer, you can identify that trans fat is an artificial type of fat, and therefore, it is not naturally occurring in foods. Monounsaturated fat (option A) and saturated fat (option B) are both naturally found in various foods, while unsaturated fat (option D) is a broader category that includes both monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats.
2) The best way to limit trans fat in the diet is by choosing option D. limiting baked goods. Trans fats are commonly found in baked goods such as cookies, cakes, pastries, and doughnuts. Manufacturers often use partially hydrogenated oils, which contain trans fats, to improve the texture and increase the shelf life of these products. By limiting the consumption of baked goods, you can significantly reduce your intake of trans fats.
Drinking low-fat milk (option A) and eating chicken instead of beef (option B) do not directly help in limiting trans fat intake. Eliminating milk (option C) is not necessary unless you have a specific dietary restriction or intolerance.
3) Fiber is necessary for proper functioning of the digestive system because it helps promote proper digestion and prevents constipation, making option B the correct answer. Fiber adds bulk and softness to the stool, which helps it move through the digestive tract more efficiently. This prevents constipation by promoting regular bowel movements and reducing the risk of developing digestive disorders such as diverticulosis.
Option A is incorrect because fiber does not create cell membranes or digestive substances. Option C is partially correct, as fiber is indeed important for cardiovascular health and can help fight heart disease, but this is not its primary role in the digestive system. Option D is incorrect because fiber does not directly supply energy for the body's functions.
4) A daily value of 10% means that D. one serving provides 10% of the daily amount for a particular nutrient. The daily value (DV) is a reference value used on food labels to help consumers understand how a particular food item contributes to their overall daily nutrient intake.
When a food item has a daily value of 10%, it means that consuming one serving of that food provides 10% of the recommended daily amount of a particular nutrient. This helps individuals make informed choices about their dietary intake and compare different food products.
Options A and B are incorrect because they interpret the daily value as a percentage of calories or the total content of a nutrient in a food. Option C is unrelated to the concept of daily value and refers to a different nutrient claim on food packaging.
