diet the foods and beverages a person eats and drinks
cultural competence awareness and acceptance of cultures; ability to interact effectively with people of diverse cultures
phytochemicals nonnutrient compounds found in plants. Some exhibit biological activity in the body and can be beneficial
energy density a measure of the energy a food provides relative to the weight of the food
nutrient density a measure of the nutrients a food provides relative to the energy it provides. More nutrients and fewer kcalories means higher this
correlation the simultaneous increase, decrease, or change in two variables. If A increases as B increases, or if A decreases and B decreases, this is positive
double blind experiment an experiment in which neither subjects nor researchers know which subjects are members of the experimental group and which are serving as control subjects, until after the experiment is over

variables the factors that change

meta-analysis an objective and statistical summary of evidence gathered from multiple selected studies to develop a quantitative review
DRIs (Dietary Reference Intakes) a set of nutrient intake values for healthy people in the US and CA. These values are used for planning and assessing diets

nutritional genomics the science of how nutrients affect the activities of genes and how genes affect the activity of nutrients
health disparity a health difference closely linked with social, economic, or environmental disadvantage
which are DRIs (4) estimated average requirements, recommended dietary allowance, adequate intake, tolerable upper intake level, acceptable macronutrient distribution ranges
estimated energy requirements the average number of kcals a person needs to maintain weight, depends on age, gender, height, and weight
45-65% what is the acceptable macronutrient range for CHOs
20-35% what is the acceptable macronutrient range for fat
10-35% what is the acceptable macronutrient range for protein
half how many of your grains should be whole
we only need a small amount of them to survive why are vitamins and minerals micronutrients
