Document Summary

Need a good explanation: were the methods used appropriate? (lecture 3) basic nutrition. Was a bias introduced (placebo, double blind, treatment order/timing of the study, washout period, non-random assignment of subjects) Examine in the context of other similar studies. Nonessential (dispensable) nutrients: macronutrients needed in large quantities (g or even hundreds of g) cho, fat protein, micronutrient needed in much smaller amounts (mg or less) vitamins and minerals. Essential indispensable nutrients = must be obtained in food or diseases will result. Nonessential dispensable nutrients = can be obtained in food but can also be produced in the body (ie. glucose) Can be produced in the body aka. dispensable. However, rate of use like exercise can exceed the body"s ability to produce like cho, so athletes need more cho. Relationship between nutrient intake and problems such as deficiency and toxic effects. Ear meets the needs of only 50% of the population. Ai was not research only based off of experts.
