Carbohydrate Basics
This monosaccharide is described as the sweetest.
What is Fructose
This is the primary difference between saturated and unsaturated fatty acids.
What is the presence of double bonds and saturated with hydrogen?
This is the primary organ responsible for producing ketone bodies.
What is the Liver
This intervention was most cost-effective in preventing type 2 diabetes in the Diabetes Prevention Program study.
What is lifestyle modification?
This lipoprotein is mainly composed of cholesterol.
What is LDL
This process links two monosaccharides together to form a disaccharide.
What is condensation?
This type of fatty acid is most resistant to oxidation.
What are saturated fatty acids?
This describes what happens when RQ < FQ in terms of fat oxidation.
What is "Fat oxidation is above fat consumption"?
What are valid reasons to remove gluten?
What is Celiac, wheat allergy, and gluten insensitivity.
This describes what the body does when dietary cholesterol levels increase.
What is "Decrease endogenous cholesterol synthesis"? and increase HDL.
This is the minimum amount of carbohydrates needed per day to spare proteins and prevent ketone production.
What is 50-100 grams?
This omega-3 fatty acid is a precursor to EPA and DHA.
What is Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA)?
This is how medium-chain triglycerides differ from long-chain triglycerides in absorption.
What is "Medium-chain triglycerides are absorbed into the blood, directed to the liver, and oxidized, while long-chain triglycerides are absorbed into the lymphatic system"?
This describes the relationship between HFCS and obesity.
What is "HFCS usage is associated with increased obesity rates" and
"HFCS is no different than sucrose when it comes to obesity"?
This best describes atherogenic dyslipidemia.
What is "Mild hypercholesterolemia and low HDL-C"?, high trigs, small dense LDL
These monosaccharides are absorbed via active transport.
What are glucose and galactose?
This is the recommended frequency of fatty fish consumption for cardiovascular health.
What is 2-3 times per week?
This hormone is released after a meal and activates the enzyme to initiate glycogenesis.
What is insulin?
This is true concerning diet soda and weight management.
What is "Most research stated that switching from full soda to diet soda would cause you to lose more weight than switching to water"?
This is the primary function of HDL in the body.
What is "To remove cholesterol from cells and transport it to the liver"?
Calculate the glycemic load of an apple: glycemic index: 34, Total CHO: 20 g, Fiber: 5 g.
What is 5.1
This is the primary health difference between industrial and ruminant trans fats.
What is "Ruminant trans fats may have less harmful effects"?
This is true about De Novo Lipogenesis and fructose metabolism.
What is "Fructose is metabolized in the liver along with DNL, which takes place in the liver; thus fructose participates in DNL more than other monosaccharides"?
This is the primary difference in diet between Japanese men living in Japan and those living in Honolulu.
What is "Japanese men in Honolulu had about twice the percentage of energy from fat"?
This is the effect of replacing saturated fats with monounsaturated fats on lipid profiles.
What is "A modest decrease in LDL-C"?
