summary of chapters 9,10,11 of "nutrition concepts and controversies"
The Controversy features invite you to explore beyond the safe boundaries of established nutrition knowledge and examine numerous nutrition controversies, as indicated in the book’s title that have been mapped to particular learning objectives. These additional readings, which appear near the end of each chapter and are printed on coloured pages, delve into current scientific topics and emerging controversies.
Many tried-and-true features remain in this edition. Each chapter begins with a listing of the chapter’s learning outcomes (which are repeated below the relevant headings throughout each chapter) to prepare students for what’s to come. Provoking “What Do You Think?” questions are also included to pique interest and set a personal tone for the information that follows.
The practical Food Feature, revised for the multicultural society that is Canada, invites students to apply chapter concepts in their everyday encounters with food. The Food Feature sections (and the Diet and Wellness Plus exercises, see below) that appear in most chapters act as bridges between theory and practice; they are practical applications of the chapter concepts that help readers choose foods according to nutrition principles.
The Consumer Corner feature presents information on whole-grain breads, fat replacers, amino acid supplements, vitamin C and the common cold, bottled water, fad diets, irradiation of foods, and other nutrition-related marketplace issues to empower students to make informed decisions.
Snapshot boxes are concentrated capsules of information depicting common food sources of vitamins and minerals. They present the recommended Dietary Reference Intakes (DRI) for young adults, the latest known intakes (based on CCHS data), and Tolerable Upper Intake Levels (UL) and offer the chief biological roles of each nutrient, along with deficiency and toxicity symptoms.
A little reminder called Think Fitness appears from time to time to alert readers to ways in which physical activity links with nutrition to support health. This feature emphasizes the role of nutrients in supporting physical activity and spells out the advantage of an active lifestyle throughout life.
Diet & Wellness Plus+ helps you understand how nutrition relates to your personal health goals. Track your diet and activity, generate reports, and analyze the nutritional value of the food you eat. Diet & Wellness Plus+ includes over 75,000 foods, as well as custom food and recipe features. The new Behaviour Change Planner helps you identify risks in your life and guides you through the key steps to make positive changes.
