Answers to Nutrition Quiz

Below are answers to the nutrition quiz along with the titles of
corresponding articles that have appeared on the CarboH web site.

 

 

1. False - Research has not shown that coffee causes osteoporosis in women who have an intake of 800 mgs. or more of calcium per day. However, research does show there is an increase in osteoporosis in women who's calcium intake is 400 mgs. or less per day, but is attributed to the lack of adequate calcium intake rather than coffee consumption.

Where do you get your nutrition information? Most states now have licensure laws for Dietitians and Nutritionists. Be sure your nutrition advisor is "Licensed" by the State as a Licensed Dietitian (LD) or Licensed Nutritionist (LN), or in states that don't have licensure laws, a Registered Dietitian.
