Divided into six categories: major nutrients (carbs, lipids, proteins) provide energy and makeup the bulk of our diet. 45-50 molecules that cannot be made fast enough to meet the body"s needs, and therefore must be provided to the body through diet. Non-essential nutrients can be made in the body. Both non-essential and essential nutrients are equally vital for normal functioning, the difference is only that some of them can be made by the body while others must be consumed. Most are from plants (other than lactose in milk and glycogen in meat) Mono- and disaccharides come from fruits, cane sugars, sugar beets, honey and milk. Cellulose (veggies) - provides insoluble fiber that provides roughage, which increases the bulk of stool and facilitates defecation. Soluble fiber (pectin) - found in fruits, reduces blood cholesterol levels.
