1. Vitamins are useful in the body in great amounts.2. Vitamins don't have a common sturcture3. There is one type of vitamin B.4. Vitamin D is usually found in citrus fruits.5. There are vitamins that can be produced by the skin with the aid of sunlight.6. Vitamin K can solve fertility problems.7. Some vitamins can be synthesized by the human body.8. Before taking multivitamins, consultation with a doctor is important.9. All vitamins are water-soluble.10. Too much vitamins may be toxic to the body.
A claim put forth by some purveyors of health foods is that vitamins obtained from natural sources are more healthful than those obtained by chemical synthesis. For example, pure L-ascorbic acid (vitamin C) extracted from rose hips is better than pure L-ascorbic acid manufactured in a chemicalplant. Are the vitamins from the two sources different? Can the body distinguish a vitamin’s source?

- How are fats and oils structurally similar? How are they different?arrow_forwardFor years we’ve been told that eating fat will cause various health problems and have been warned to eliminate it from our diet. But now we know that not all fat is the same. By understanding the difference between good and bad fats and how to include more healthy fat in your diet, you can improve your mood, boost your energy and well-being, and even lose weight. Since fat is an important part of a healthy diet, rather than adopting a low-fat diet, it’s more important to focus on eating more beneficial “good” fats and limiting harmful “bad” fats. What is their experience with the health risks associated with ‘bad fat’ intake for example obesity, diabetes, heart disease, strokes, cancer, etc.? Why is eating healthy so important? What are are recommendations for maintaining a healthy diet of ‘good fats’? What's the deal with fats?arrow_forwardWhat do amino acids, fatty acids, and sugars (monosaccharides) have in common?
