Where would we be without food? A lot worse off! But what is
in
our food that makes
us work the way we do? That is some of what we will be considering
in this unit.
Does the idea of food additives bug you? What other things show up in our food?
We have been exploring the elements of the Periodic Table. Some of these elements are used by the body as minerals. What would happen if we didn't have these minerals in the correct amounts? What are the recommended amounts any way? [check here or here or here or here ]
What if I don't know what these recommended amounts mean? "I don't speak metric!", you say. Take a measurement pre-quiz, and bone up if you need more work on measurement. We will continue to work on this topic in the next semester.
Are you eating a healthy diet? Find out by taking one or more nutrition quizzes. What about fat? When is too much too much?
