Question
Chapter 25, Problem 5P
Interpretation Introduction
To write:
About requirement of greater water intake for the high-protein diet.
Introduction:
Excessive amino acids don't seem to be kept within the human body; in reality, over-consumption causes organic compound degradation and ends up in the assembly of carbamide by the carbamide cycle.

- Regarding fluid intake in school-age children, which of the following statements is most correct? a. Soft drinks are good choices for hydration during exercise because the high carbohydrate content provides quick energy. b. Childrens caffeine consumption decreases as they get older. c. Diluted fruit juice is a good choice for hydration during exercise, as children are more likely to drink it than water. d. Adults who are supervising children during exercise can rely on the children to let them know when they are thirsty.arrow_forwardEffects of Dietary Fats on Lipoprotein Levels Cholesterol that is made by the liver or that enters the body from food does not dissolve in blood, so it is carried through the bloodstream by lipoproteins. Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) carries cholesterol to body tissues such as artery walls, where it can form deposits associated with cardiovascular disease. Thus, LDL is often called bad cholesterol. Highdensity lipoprotein (HDL) carries cholesterol away from tissues to the liver for disposal, so HDL is often called good cholesterol. In 1990, Ronald Mensink and Martijn Katan published a study that tested the effects of different dietary fats on blood lipoprotein levels. Their results are shown in Figure 2.23. In which group was the level of LDL (bad cholesterol) highest?arrow_forwardEffects of Dietary Fats on Lipoprotein Levels Cholesterol that is made by the liver or that enters the body from food does not dissolve in blood, so it is carried through the bloodstream by lipoproteins.

Figure 2.23 Effect of diet on lipoprotein levels. Researchers placed 59 men and women on a diet in which 10 percent of their daily energy intake consisted of cis fatty acids, trans fatty acids, or saturated fats. Blood LDL and HDL levels were measured after three weeks on the diet; averaged results are shown in mg/dL (milligrams per deciliter of blood). All subjects were tested on each of the diets. The ratio of LDL to HDL is also shown. Source, Mensink RP, Katan MB, Effect of dietary trans fatty acids on high-density and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels in healthy subjects. NEJM 323(7):43945. An elevated risk of heart disease has been correlated with increasing LDL-to-HDL ratios. Rank the three diets according to their predicted effect on cardiovascular health.arrow_forwardHfl levels are lowest in a diet containing primarily what type of fatsarrow_forwardWhich statement is NOT completely true?
