Connecting Students to
Today’s Nutrition
Our Intended Audience
This textbook was developed for students pursuing nutrition and health science careers as
well as those wanting a better understanding of how nutrition affects their lives. Because
this course often attracts students from a broad range of majors, we have been careful to
include examples and explanations that are relevant to them and to include sufficient sci-
entific background to make the science accessible to them. The appendices help students
who wish to learn more or need assistance with the science involved in human physiology,
chemistry, and metabolism.
To better bridge the span of differing science backgrounds and to enhance student
interest and achievement of course objectives, we organized the presentation of the mate-
rial within chapters to flow seamlessly from concrete to abstract learning. In chapters focusing on nutrients, for example, con-
crete concepts, such as food sources of the nutrients and recommended intakes, are introduced early in the chapter to create
a framework for more abstract concepts, such as functions, digestion, and absorption.

Connections That
Suit Your Needs
Logical Organization, Flexible Sequencing
This new edition addresses the curricular realities of today’s college coursework by organizing and consolidating the content
into 5 main parts and 18 chapters. This organization presents the core content in a thorough yet manageable fashion. To give
instructors even greater flexibility in tailoring reading assignments to course requirements and cross-referencing lectures to the
book, each major section in the chapters is numbered. If, for example, an instructor plans to address only part of a chapter on a
certain day, he or she can direct students to focus on just those sections.

9. Identify reliable sources of nutrition information.
IN OUR LIFETIMES, WE WILL eat about 60 tons of food served at 70,000 meals and countless snacks. Research over
the last 50 years has shown that the foods we eat have a profound impact on our health and longevity. A healthy diet—especially
one rich in fruits and vegetables—coupled with frequent exercise can prevent and treat many age-related diseases.1 In contrast,
eating a poor diet and getting too little exercise are risk factors for many common life-threatening chronic diseases, such as
cardiovascular (heart) disease, diabetes, and certain forms of cancer.2,3 Another diet-related problem, drinking too much alcohol,
can impair nutritional status and is associated with liver disease, some forms of cancer, accidents, and suicides. As you can see in
Figure 1-1, diet plays a role in the development of most of the leading causes of death in the U.S. The combination of poor diet and
too little physical activity is indirectly the second leading cause of death—obesity (smoking is the first).4
We live longer than our ancestors did, so preventing age-related diseases is more important now than ever before. Today, many
people want to know more about how nutritious dietary choices can bring the goal of a long, healthy life within reach.5 They
may wonder what the best dietary choices are, how nutrients contribute to health, or if multivitamin and mineral supplements
are needed. How can people know if they are eating too much saturated fat, trans fat, or cholesterol? Why are carbohydrates
important? Is it possible to get too much protein?

Is the food supply safe to eat? Would a vegetarian diet lead to better health? This book,
beginning with this chapter, will help you build the nutrition knowledge base needed to
answer these questions (and many more!) and apply this knowledge to safeguard your
health, as well as the health of others.
As you begin your study of nutrition, keep in mind that this field of study draws
heavily on chemistry, biology, and other sciences. For the greatest understanding of nutri-
tion principles, you may want to review human physiology (Appendix A), basic chemistry
concepts (Appendix B), and the metric system (Appendix H).
Nutrients
You probably are already familiar with the terms carbohydrates, lipids (fats and oils),
proteins, vitamins, and minerals (Table 1-1). These, plus water, make up the 6 classes of
nutrients in food. Nutrients are substances essential for health that the body cannot make or
that it makes in quantities too small to support health.
To be considered an essential nutrient, a substance must have these characteristics:
• It has a specific biological function.
• Removing it from the diet leads to a decline in human biological function, such as the
normal functions of the blood cells or nervous system.
• Returning the omitted substance to the diet before permanent damage occurs restores to
normal those aspects of human biological function impaired by its absence.

6 PART 1 Nutrition Basics
Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates are composed mainly of the elements carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Fruits,
vegetables, grains, beans, and sugars are the primary dietary sources of carbohydrate.
The main types of carbohydrates are simple and complex. Small carbohydrate structures
are called sugars or simple carbohydrates—table sugar (sucrose) and blood sugar
(glucose) are examples. Some sugars, such as glucose, can chemically bond together to
form large carbohydrates, called polysaccharides or complex carbohydrates (Fig. 1-2).
Examples of complex carbohydrates include the starch in grains and the glycogen stored
in our muscles. Fiber, another type of complex carbohydrate, forms the structure of plants.
Glucose, which comes from simple carbohydrates and starch, is a major source of
energy in most cells. It and most other carbohydrates provide an average of 4 calories per
gram (kcal/g).7 (Fiber provides little energy because it cannot be broken down by digestive
processes.) When too little carbohydrate is eaten to supply sufficient glucose, the body is
forced to make glucose from proteins. (Chapter 5 focuses on carbohydrates.)
Lipids
Like carbohydrates, lipids (e.g., fats, oils, and cholesterol) are compounds composed mostly
of the elements carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen (Fig. 1-3). Note that the term fats refers to
lipids that are solid at room temperature, whereas oils are those that are liquid at room tem-
perature. Lipids yield more energy per gram than carbohydrates—on average, 9 calories per

gram. (See Chapter 9 for details concerning the reason for the high energy yield of lipids.)
Lipids
Lipids are insoluble in water but can dissolve in certain organic solvents (e.g., ether and
benzene).
The lipid type called a triglyceride is the major form of fat in foods and a key
energy source for the body. Triglycerides are also the major form of energy stored in the
body. They are composed of 3 fatty acids attached to a glycerol molecule. Fatty acids
are long chains of carbon flanked by hydrogen with an acid group attached to the end
opposite glycerol.
Most lipids can be separated into 2 basic types—saturated and unsaturated—based on
the chemical structure of their dominant fatty acids. This difference helps determine whether
a lipid is solid or liquid at room temperature, as well as its effect on health. Although almost
all foods contain a variety of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids, plant oils tend to contain
mostly unsaturated fatty acids, which make them liquid at room temperature. Many animal
fats are rich in saturated fatty acids, which make them solid at room temperature. Unsatu- Triglyceride

which can clog arteries and eventually lead to cardiovascular disease.
Two specific unsaturated fatty acids—linoleic acid and alpha-linolenic acid—
are essential nutrients. They must be supplied by our diets. These essential fatty acids
have many roles, including being structural components of cell membranes and help- Glycerol
ing regulate blood pressure and nerve transmissions. A few tablespoons of vegetable
oil daily and eating fish at least twice weekly supply sufficient amounts of essential
fatty acids.7
Some foods also contain trans fatty acids—unsaturated fats that have been pro-
cessed to change their structure from the more typical cis form to the trans form (see
Chapter 6). These are found primarily in deep-fried foods (e.g., doughnuts and french
fries), baked snack foods (e.g., cookies and crackers), and solid fats (e.g., stick margarine The black, white, and red circles represent
and shortening). Large amounts of trans fats in the diet pose health risks, so, like saturated carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms,

fat, their intake should be minimized.7 (Chapter 6 focuses on lipids.)
Proteins Minerals
The nutrients discussed so far are all complex organic compounds, whereas minerals
are structurally very simple, inorganic substances. The chemical structure of an organic
compound contains carbon atoms bonded to hydrogen atoms, whereas an inorganic
substance generally does not. In this case, the term organic is not related to the farming
practices that produce organic foods (these are described in Chapter 3).
Minerals typically function in the body as groups of one or more of the same atoms
(e.g., sodium or potassium) or as parts of mineral combinations, such as the calcium- and
phosphorus-containing compound called hydroxyapatite, found in bones. Because they are
elements, minerals are not destroyed during cooking. (However, they can leak into cooking
water and get discarded if that water is not consumed.) Minerals yield no energy for the
body but are required for normal body function. For instance, minerals play key roles in the
nervous system, the skeletal system, and water balance.
Hemoglobin Minerals are divided into 2 groups: major minerals and trace minerals. Major minerals
(protein found in red blood cells) are needed daily in gram amounts. Sodium, potassium, chloride, calcium, and phosphorus
are examples of major minerals. Trace minerals are those that we need in amounts of less
than 100 mg daily. Examples of trace minerals are iron, zinc, copper, and selenium. (Minerals
are the focus of Chapters 14 and 15.)
Water
Water is the sixth class of nutrients. Like minerals, water also is inorganic. Although some-
times overlooked as a nutrient, water is the nutrient needed in the largest quantity. Water
(H2O) has numerous vital functions in the body. It acts as a solvent and lubricant and is a
medium for transporting nutrients to cells. It also helps regulate body temperature. Bever-

nutrition and health experts suggest that a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, legumes, and whole-
grain breads and cereals is the most reliable way to obtain the potential benefits of phyto-
chemicals.11 In addition, foods of animal origin, such as fatty fish, can provide the beneficial
zoochemical omega-3 fatty acids (see Chapter 6), and fermented dairy products provide
probiotics (see Chapter 4). Table 1-3 lists some phytochemicals and zoochemicals under
study, with their common food sources.

Thus, the term calorie and its abbreviation, kcal, are used throughout this book. Any values
given on food labels in calories are actually in kilocalories (Fig. 1-5).
The calories in food can be measured using a bomb calorimeter (see Chapter 10). Or
they can be estimated by multiplying the amount of carbohydrates, proteins, fats, and alco-
hol in a food by their physiological fuel values. The physiological fuel values are 4, 9, 4, Fat

These values also can be used to determine the portion of total energy intake that
carbohydrate, fat, protein, and alcohol provide to your diet. Assume that one day you
consume 283 g of carbohydrates, 60 g of fat, 75 g of protein, and 9 g of a lcohol. This
consumption yields a total of 2035 kcal ([283 3 4] 1 [60 3 9] 1 [75 3 4] 1 [9 3 7]
