Homework #2
Keep a Food Log for 3 Days – List all the foods you eat & drink, including sizes and location if not cooked at home
This assignment is Due for Tuesday, April 11th – Will be handed in
Must be readable – Please list what you eat

13. PORTIONS:
What is appropriate – Well – don’t eat the whole thing in one sitting.
A box of Kraft Mac and Cheese is not 1-meal
An ‘actual’ single-portion many of you would consider a ‘taste’ – rather than the meal.
Figure out the portion and then stick to it, because if you don’t – then all the nutrition information will need to be multiplied by the number of servings you consume.

14. Name the portions in the following:
Campbell's Chicken Noodle Soup –x
Kraft Mac and Cheese – x
Ramen Noodle Soup – x
Green Beans – x

Pros and Cons of Preserved Food:

19. Preservatives: 3 Main Types:
A. Antimicrobials – Inhibit Growth of Bacteria, Yeasts or Molds
B. Antioxidants – Slow air oxidations of Fats & Lipids
C. Blocks the natural ripening & enzymatic processes that occur after harvest

20. Antimicrobials: Sorbic Acid & salts
Benzoic Acid & salts -- Esters of p-hydroxybenzoic acid (Parabens)
Calcium Propionate
Sodium Nitrite & Sodium Nitrate
Sulfites (Sulfur Dioxide, Sodium Bisulfite, Potassium Hydrogen Sulfite
Disodium EDTA

21. PARABENS: (3) Major ones: Butylparaben; Methylparaben; Propylparaben
They are Xenoestrogens – Agents that mimic estrogen in the body
Estrogen disruption has been linked to cancer – Beware…
Both WHO and the FDA consider Parabens safe at low levels

22. Antioxidants: BHA -- (Butylated Hydroxyanisole
BHT --(Butylated Hydroxytoluene)
TBHQ – (Tert-Butylhydroquinone)
Propyl Gallate
EDTA – (Ethylenediamine Tetraacetic Acid)

23. BHA / BHT: Affects Sleep patterns, Increases Appetite
Long term- Liver & Kidney Damage
Baldness
Behavioral Problems
Cancer
Fetal Abnormalities
Growth Retardation

24. Other Preservatives: Ethanol Methylchloroisothiazolinone
FDA Standards do not currently require fruit & vegetable labels to reflect the type of chemical preservative(s) used on the produce.

25. Partially Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil:
Creates Trans Fats
Lowers Polyunsaturated Fats (Good ones)
Associated with:
Heart Disease, Breast & Colon Cancer, Atherosclerosis, Elevated Cholesterol

26. Brominated Vegetable Oil:
Used to keep flavor oils in soft drinks in suspension
Bromate (main ingredient) is a Poison
2 ounces of 2% solution can severely poison a child

27. Artificial Colors:
Our daily lives are full of these – we find them everywhere:
Candies, Drinks, Popsicles, Puddings, Pickles, Meats, Fruits, Sauces and Chips. Daily Vitamins, Cough Syrup, Toothpaste, Hand Soaps, Shampoo, Laundry Productions and Lip Moisturize also contain them too. “Kraft Macaroni & Cheese, Minute Maid Lemonade, Lunchables, Fruit Roll Ups, Cheetos, Light and Fit Yoplait Yogurt”

4. Synthetic Food Dyes have been shown to cause an increase in Hyperactivity in children and impacts their learning abilities.
5. They add no value to the foods – Without them Mint Ice cream wouldn’t be Green; Cola wouldn’t be Brown and Margarine wouldn’t be Yellow.

1. Follow the Food Rules as much as possible in order to be able to Eat and Live a Healthy Life
2. It helps to Eat Locally – Eat in Season – If you like baby New Zealand Lamb for dinner you are eating a petroleum based food – Think:
When are Baby Lambs in season?
What did it eat in order to grow?* (GMO’s)?
Where was the Lamb Raised?
How did it get to you?
