Question
Chapter 3, Problem 19BS
Summary Introduction
To determine: Whether the manufacturer of unhealthy food, which might lead to heart problems, should be punished or not.
Concept introduction:
Fast food has a lot of unhealthy fats (triglycerides) and cholesterol. These might pose a risk to heart functions as they block the blood capillaries. The availability and affordability of fast food has lead to their over consumption and increase in heart related diseases.

When comparing two multivitamins in the store, you see that one has 500% of the daily value for
a particular vitamin, while the other has 100% of the daily value for that vitamin. Is the one with
500% of the daily value necessarily better for your health? Explain your answer.
You are a researcher seeking to determine if an experimental drug can effectively treat hyperglycemia, a condition characterized by excess glucose in the blood, often associated with Type I diabetes. You select 24 hyperglycemia patients to study, and you give half of them a pill containing the drug you are testing and the other half a placebo (a pill that lacks the drug ingredient). After an evening of fasting, you measure the amount of glucose in their blood the next morning.
Write the null and alternative hypotheses appropriate for your study.
Which treatment is your control group, and why does your experimental design require a control group?
Describe the structure of a carbohydrate, and what are the functions of carbohydrates in the body?
What test that we have used before in lab could you use to measure the amount of glucose in their blood? Describe how you would use this test to measure the amounts of glucose in their blood serum samples.

The act of cooking a steak on a barbeque grill heats the meat to a high enough temperature to:
a. promote the Maillard reaction
b. kill bacteria on the surface of the meat
c. denature proteins in the meat making them easier for humans to digest
d. hydrolyze collagen fibers into fragments that make meat more tender and easier for humans to digest

- Food faddists often make exaggerated claims about certain types of food. For instance, some promoters of weight-loss diets claim that carbohydrate (for example, rice) is harmful and should be omitted from the diet or intake of carbohydrate significantly reduced. There is a saying that “fats burn in the fire of carbohydrates”. What is the meaning of this? What would be the effect of a significant reduction in carbohydrate intake on the utilization of fats for energy?

By convention, one Calorie (C), with a capital C, that is used for food is equal to one kilocalorie.

- Rabbits' intestines help in the digestion of cellulose, which is a time-consuming and complex process. To digest cellulose, rabbits require enzymes produced by bacteria living in their intestines. These bacteria break down the cellulose into simple sugars that rabbits can digest. Which of the following is an accurate statement about the survival needs of both rabbits and the bacteria that live in the rabbits' intestines? Both the bacteria and rabbits get energy A from sugars, and both must eliminate wastes. Both the bacteria and rabbits get energy from sugars, but only rabbits need to eliminate wastes. Both the bacteria and rabbits need nutrients, but only rabbits need water.

- 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. High-density lipoprotein (HDL) carries cholesterol away from tissues to the liver for disposal, so HDL is often called "good" cholesterol. LDL levels were highest in the diet containing primarily ______. A. cis fatty acids B. saturated fats C. trans fatty acidsarrow_forwardThe food label in Figure 11.28 lists the nutrients and other substances in a package of ready-to-eat macaroni and cheese. Based on your reading in this chapter, how would you rate this products healthiness in terms of fats and carbohydrates? Figure 11.28 Food labels are useful health tools. Information on a food label can be used to ensure that you get the nutrients you need without exceeding recommended limits on less healthy substances such as salt, sugar, and trans fats. At present, the USDA is considering major revisions to food labels. The proposed changes include showing realistic serving sizes and sugars added by the manufacturer, and printing the calorie content per serving in larger, bolder type so that it is easier for consumers to make informed choices about purchases of prepared foods.

The defect makes the body unable to remove low density lipoprotein cholesterol from the blood.
