Document Summary
Identify the major nutrient classes: describe the course outcomes, organization and methods of assessments, describe the concept of dietary essentiality, describe the process and rationale of using case studies in education. The goals of modern nutrition: three main ideas guide research in our time, research has moved from understanding how to prevent nutrient deficiencies to understanding the effects of over-nutrition. Effects of widespread micronutrient supplementation: one of the future goals is to understand the optimal intakes of multiple interacting nutrients. Nutrient essentiality and health: nutritional status can have various impacts of health. A person can have optimal nutritional status and health. A person can experience a nutrient deficiency and have suboptimal health. A person can experience a nutrient deficiency that could ultimately be lethal: many nutritional deficiency diseases recognized through history are caused by diets low in an essential nutrient. If the deficiency last for long periods of time, they will cause a suboptimal or lethal health outcome.
