Answer to #1

Dehydration can result from not drinking enough fluids, or from conditions that result in too much water being lost from the body, such as diarrhea, vomiting, high fever, and the use of diuretics. In some cases inadequate intake and increased loss can occur together.

Answer to #2

TRUE

Answer to #3

FALSE

Answer to #4

Nutrient density refers to the amount of nutrients a food contains in relationship to the number of calories it contains. More nutrient-dense foods provide more nutrients per calorie (and in each bite) than do less nutrient-dense foods, and so are better choices for meeting your DRIs without exceeding your daily caloric needs. Energy density refers to the number of calories a food contains relative to its weight (grams) or volume. To summarize: nutrient density = amount of nutrients per calorie in a food; energy density = number of calories per gram (or volume) of food.

Answer to #5

TRUE

Answer to #6

FALSE

Answer to #7

Consuming more than the UL for a nutrient may result in toxicity and damage to organs, especially the liver.

Answer to #8

FALSE
