Document Summary
Deficiency will affect in the long term but is not as severe compared to excess toxicity . The reason why this is a bell curve (the a huge difference + distributions) is because of the variations in genetics. Cooked vs raw you might get more nutrients if you cook food. Ex. carbohydrates (like pasta) the more you cook it, the more starch is absorbed. Mouth: slavai + enzymes break down the food a bit. Digest absorb the nutrients from the food. Blood carrier protein : trucks that moves around to dif parts of the body. Good/bad cholesterol related to this (proteins) Nutrients are floating around the bloodstream this is how we get nutrients nutrients go into the cells. Receptors catch the nutrient and bring it inside the cell. Ex. liver cell store most of the vitamin a. Nutrients are often modified in the cell. = production of protein building blocks: amino acid.
