EXAM REVIEW
60 Questions
• Water soluble vitamins
• Water and minerals
• Pregnancy and lactation nutrition
• Infancy and child nutrition
• Nutrition and genetics
• Genetically modified foods
Water Soluble vitamins
• B vitamins
• Vitamin C
• We don’t store these like fat soluble vitamins which have longer storage in fat
tissue
• Excess water soluble vitamins are excreted
• B vitamins Function: Coenzyme – help in metabolism of macro nutrients
B Vitamins
• Biotin
• B-6
• Folate
• B-12
• Choline
Know:
• Function
• Food source
• Deficiency diseases
• Toxicity
• Key points
Biotin
• We can synthesize AND get from food
• Egg yolks, cheese
• Function: coenzyme
• Deficiency: Skin issues, cracking of skin around mouth
• People who are at risk for deficiency: alcoholics
B-6

• Function: coenzyme in protein metabolism
• Sources: animal protein foods, spinach, broccoli, nuts and seeds
• Deficiency: Nausea, vomiting
Folate/B-12
• Coenzyme
• Synthesis of DNA and activate one another
• Folate sources: Fruits and veggies, orange juice
• Folate: Important to prevent neural tube defects in utero
• Deficiency disease: Anemia (for both folate and B-12)
• B-12: Naturally found in animal products
o Vegans need a synthetic form
Major Minerals
• Calcium
• Phosphorus
• Magnesium
• Sulfur
Calcium
• Stored in bones and teeth
• If our body doesn’t have enough we pull it from our bones
• Deficiency: Osteoporosis
• Sources: Dairy products, green vegetables,
Phosphorus
• Important in bone health and acid base balance
• Sources: Meats, processed foods, dairy products
• Deficiencies: poor bone health
Magnesium
• Related to nerve and heart function
• Sources: nuts, whole grains
• Deficiency: Weakness, muscle pain
Sulfur
• Not a part of bone health
• Important for acid base balance
• Sources: Protein foods
Osteoporosis
