Document Summary
Acceptable daily intakes (adis): amount per kilogram of body weight can consume safely over time: for nonnutritive/alternative sweeteners. Insulin is the hormone released to lower glucose levels in the blood: type 2 diabetics are insulin resistant, type 1 diabetics do not produce adequate insulin. Be able to calculate percent energy (kcal) from carbs: ex: 2200 calorie diet with 286 gms cho, carbs have 4 kcal per gram, 1144/2200 = 52% (286*4) = 1144 kcal. Amdr range for healthy intake of carbohydrates is 45-65% Ai range for fiber is 21-38 grams per day: there isn"t an rda for fi(cid:271)er. Half of your daily intake of grains should come from whole grains. Positives of nonnutritive sweeteners: reduce dental caries, helps diabetics reduce sugar intake. Negatives of nonnutritive sweeteners: do not necessarily lead to weight loss, does not necessarily improve nutrient density if it is replaced with other junk foods. Do not need to kno(cid:449) the adi"s for nonnutriti(cid:448)e s(cid:449)eeteners.
