Essential nutrients: the body cannot make this nutrient or cannot make enough of this nutrient for the body, it must be injested through food. Daily value: based on a reference person that eats 2,000 calories, on a food label, specifically the nutrition fact panel, tells you the percentage of a specific nutrient this takes up in your daily consumption limits. Refined grains: takes away the bran and then germ, strips away the nutrients from the grain. Enrichment: when you add vitamins and iron back into the grain that has been stripped of bran and germ; has proved important to prevent deficiencies. Unsaturated fatty acids: missing hydrogens and contain at least one double bond between the carbons of the carbon chain, usually liquid at room temperature. Mucus: protects stomach lining from damage, protects from acid. Digestion: the process by which food is broken down into absorbable units.
