Problem 2

-Daily Values (DV’s) What are they used for? Which nutrients have DV’s, which do not? Which ones should you try to get 100% of and which ones should you not?

-Definitions for DRI’s (RDA, AI, EER, EAR, AMDR, UL)

-Recommendations for sodium and cholesterol, trans fats

-What vitamins and minerals must be on a nutrition label?

-What is a disclaimer?

-Know what needs to be on a food nutrition label as well as a dietary supplement label

-Inverse, direct correlations

-Prospective, retrospective study

-DSHEA act of 1994

-Organic food requirements

-Mediterranean (Sardinian) diet

-Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Range (AMDR) (approximately)

Explanation / Answer

DV% values are used in order to detect the amount of nutrients in a daily food in relation to their approx requirement for it. It is recommended only for 2000 calories of diet per day.

Nutrient like trans fat does not %DV and Total fat, saturated fatty acid, cholesterol etc. have DV%

Fat, saturated fat, carbohydrates, sodium, potassium, cholesterol, fibres and protein for achieving 100% CV% should be included in diets.

Pizza, junk foods, frozen foods, sugary drinks etc. are bad for CV%.

DRI: Dietary reference intake, it is a standard set by scientist for calories intake.

RDA: It is the recommended daily amount and it differ by age and gender

AI: Adequate intake, that is the minimum amount of food to maintain health

EER: Estimated energy requirement for daily intakes depends on weight and age

EAR: Estimated average requirement daily for individual

AMDR: Accepatble macronutrient distribution ranges it the percent value of total calorie intake from each nutrient diet.

UL: Upper limit, means beyond that intake is not recommended healthy.

trans fat doesn't include CV% sodium and cholesterol are included in CV% diets.

Vitamin A , C and D and calcium, sodium, potassium etc. are minerals in CV%.

Disclaimer is that diets requirement and estimation of food intake from person to person.

Food nutrition and calories level depends on weight and age of the person and depend on that food nutrition level (fibres, carbohydrates, proteins) and dietary supplement label levels (Vitamins and minerals).

Food nutrient level directly co-relates with healthy immune system and inversely does effect person immunity by not maintaing proper diets.

DSHEA act of 1994: It defines and regulates dietary supplements manufacture

Organic food: Green leafy vegetables and herbs related food and products.

Mediterranean (sardinian) diet: legumes, nut, fruits and vegetables, olive oil, canola oil, herbs and spices etc.

Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Range (AMDR) (approximately):

Carbohydrate (45-65% energy)

Protein (10-35%) energy

Fat (20-35% energy)

trans fats and saturated fat in limited amount
