Nutrition assessment of individuals: we like to have historical information. Physical examinations: gives us clues for nutritional status. Laboratory tests: give us quantitative values for nutrients in the blood. Stages in the development of nutrient deficiency: worsens as we go down the table on slide 49. Nutrition assessment of populations: no formal surveillance programs. Nutrition on the net: be wary of the website, the author or where the site is coming from (who they are supported by) Nutrition in the news: news can be misleading, trace where they get their information, draw your own conclusions. 1 cup of milk, 1. 5 oz of cheese both have 300mg of calcium but cheese has twice the energy: variety improves nutrient adequacy because we need variety, moderation, adequacy, balance.
