Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions

The history of clinical nutrition, or the study of the relationship between health and how the body takes in and utilizes food substances, can be divided into four distinct eras: the first began in the nineteenth century and extended into the early twentieth century when it was recognized for the first time that food contained constituents that were essential for human function and that different foods provided different amounts of these essential agents Near the end of this era, research studies demonstrated that rapid weight loss was associated with nitrogen imbalance and could only be rectified by providing adequate dietary protein associated with certain foods

The second era was initiated in the early decades of the twentieth century and might be called

"the vitamin period "vitamins came to be recognized in foods, and deficiency syndromes were

described As vitamins became recognized as essential food constituents necessary for health, it became tempting to suggest that every disease and condition for which there had been no

previous effective treatment might be responsive to vitamin therapy At that point in time, medical schools started to become more interested in having their curricula integrate nutritional concepts into the basic sciences Much of the focus of this education was on the recognition of deficiency symptoms Herein lay the beginning of what ultimately turned from ignorance to denial of the value of nutritional therapies in medicine Reckless claims were made

for effects of vitamins that went far beyond what could actually be achieved from the use of them

In the third era of nutritional history in the early 1950's to mid-1960's, vitamin therapy

began to fall into disrepute Concomitant with this, nutrition education in medical schools also

became less popular It was just a decade before this that many drug companies had found their vitamin sales skyrocketing and were quick to supply practicing physicians with generous samples

of vitamins and literature extolling the virtue of supplementation for a variety of health-related

conditions Expectations as to the success of vitamins in disease control were exaggerated As is

known in retrospect, vitamin and mineral therapies are much less effective when applied to health -crisis conditions than when applied to long-term problems of under nutrition that lead to chronic health problems

A The stages of development of clinical nutrition as a field of study

Megabook Chuyên Gia Sách Luyện Thi

A encourage medical doctors to apply concepts of nutrition in the treatment of disease
