For a given nutrient and population, how are the Estimated related? O There is no relationship between EAR and RDA values. O The EAR and RDA values are equivalent. O The EAR is lower than the RDA O The EAR is higher than the RDA.

In nutrition, the recommended daily allowance (RDA) of a vitamin is a number set by the government as a guide to an individual's daily vitamin intake. Actually, vitamin needs vary drastically from person to person, but the needs are very closely approximated by a normal curve. To calculate the RDA, the government first finds the average need for vitamins among people in the population and then the standard deviation. The RDA is defined as the mean plus 2.5 times the standard deviation. Find the recommended daily allowance for a vitamin given that the mean is 650 units, and the standard deviation is 51 units.

'The RDA (Recommended Dietary Allowances) for nutrients are generally: 1) the minimum amounts that average people need: 2) more than twice as high as anyone needs 3) designed to prevent deficiency disease in half the population. 4) designed to be adequate for almost all healthy people: 5) the same for all ages for all nutrients'

A serving of food supplies 136 kcal from protein. Based on this information, how many grams of protein are in the serving? A) 19 B) 26 C) 34 D) 15 2. Which of the following statements is true? A) It is not unusual for studies that have similar designs to have different findings, especially when human subjects are used. B) The results of one study are usually enough to convince nutrition scientists to adopt new ideas about nutrition-related topics. C) Dietary recommendations are generally based on the findings of one team of nutrition researchers. D) Since 1970, nutrition information has undergone few updates, because scientists have discovered all of the nutrients and their relationships to health. 3. An Estimated Average Requirement (EAR) is the A) amount of a nutrient that meets the needs of 50% of healthy people in a particular population. B) range of intake for a particular nutrient that is not likely to cause toxicity or deficiency. C) minimum amount of a nutrient that is safe to consume and cures the nutrient's deficiency disease. D) percentage of a nutrient standard that is used for food labeling purposes.
