Document Summary
The exam will be ~50% multiple choice and true/false, and ~50% short answer, with possibly one essay question (no more than 20 points): what are functional foods and dietary supplements (readings 1, 2, and 3) Some reasons for the popularity of ds/ff are rising healthcare costs, growing trend to self medicate, increasing age of population, the obesity epidemic, and high levels of lifestyle diseases. As more people take supplements, it is important that food and nutrition professionals are able to provide recommendations of the uses of ds/ff and assist clients with decision making. Regardless of their views, it is necessary to be aware of all supplements being taken by the patient because some supplements can be responsive with medications, dietary modifications (i. e. cvd, high blood pressure) , or other supplementation. Define and know the differences between functional foods and dietary supplements.
