and ataxia What other information would lead you to suspect that his symptoms may be caused by secondary thiamin deficiency?
eating mainly rice and beans
alcoholism
Trang 2ANS: B
Alcoholism may be associated with a secondary thiamin deficiency because the liver needs increased amounts of thiamin to detoxify alcohol Limited food intake may cause primary deficiency (although legumes are a good source of thiamin, and so primary deficiency is unlikely) Stro disease may cause confusion, memory loss, and ataxia, but not in relation to a secondary vitamin deficiency
ANS: B
Trang 3Subgroups of the population at risk for vitamin deficiencies include older
adults because of decreased vitamin absorption and limited physical and economic resources to purchase and prepare food Active middle-aged adults and college students usually consume enough food to ensure adequate
vitamin intake Vitamin deficiencies are rare among breastfed newborns

The best way to ensure intake of a variety of phytochemicals is to eat a
variety of plant-based foods, including whole grains, fruits, and vegetables Multivitamin supplements do not necessarily contain phytochemicals Soy-based foods contain only a limited selection of phytochemicals Dairy products
do not contain phytochemicals; herbs and spices may provide some but are used in small quantities and so would not provide significant amounts

5 The person who would have the highest need for thiamin is
ANS: C
Thiamine needs are related to metabolic rate (i.e., energy expenditure)
because thiamine is a coenzyme in energy metabolism Therefore, the
professional cyclist needs the most thiamin because he or she has the
greatest energy needs Pregnancy, walking, and weightlifting all
increase energy needs, but less so than professional athletic training

of white bread
ANS: A
The most significant source of riboflavin in the United States is milk, and so switching to cereal with milk for breakfast would increase riboflavin intake Replacing romaine lettuce with spinach would increase intake of folate Replacing apple juice with orange juice would increase vitamin C intake Eggs, meats, and whole grains are all good but lesser sources of riboflavin Using whole grains would increase intake of several vitamins and would increase riboflavin intake slightly, but less than by drinking extra milk

Scurvy is caused by vitamin C deficiency Both Florida and California produce abundant citrus fruit, other fruits, and vegetables, which are excellent sources
of vitamin C A community on the coast of Maine does not necessarily
produce good sources of vitamin C locally, but it is connected to commercial transportation, and so a variety of foods are probably available A remote village in northern Minnesota may not have good access to fresh fruits and vegetables during the winter months, and so scurvy could potentially develop

ANS: C
Vegetables are likely to be highest in vitamin C if they are stir-fried Heat
destroys vitamin C, and so cooking for the minimum amount of time preserves vitamin C Oven roasting is a slow cooking method, and so more vitamin C is lost Vitamin C is also water soluble, and so cooking methods that use water, such as boiling and canning, cause loss of vitamin C into the cooking liquid In stir-frying, vegetables are cooked quickly without water

The best way to ensure adequate intake of vitamins is to start with a diet that includes a variety of foods from all the food groups Reliance on supplements and food fortification do not result in an overall optimal diet Use of
supplements by specific subgroups of the population may be a second step in ensuring dietary adequacy, but it would not be the first step
