7. EX 2Read the article in the RESOURCES above called For Unrefined Healthfulness: Whole Grains. According to the information at the top of that document, which of the following are carbohydrates?  Select all that apply.
   1. sugar
   2. starch
   3. fiber
   4. protein
   5. fat
      
      
8. EX 2 Continuing on, according the information near the top of that document, which of the following satisfies hunger the longest?
   1. sugar
   2. starch
   3. fiber
   4. protein
   5. fat
      
      
9. EX 2 Read the article in the RESOURCES called For Unrefined Healthfulness: Whole Grains. What 2 kinds of carbohydrates does Jane Brody feel might be blamed for the growing obesity epidemic?
   
   
10. EX 2 According to Brody, which are removed when grains are refined into white flour and white rice? Select all that apply.
    1. the endosperm of the grain
    2. the bran of the grain
    3. the germ of the grain
    4. antioxidants
    5. other disease-fighting plant chemicals (called phytochemicals)
       
       
11. EX 2 According to this article, the surgeon general's goal is for all Americans to consume how many servings each day of whole grains?
    
    
12. EX 2 According to this article, which of the following would be characteristics of BOTH white flour AND whole wheat flour? Select all that apply.
    1. low in cholesterol and fat
    2. high in fiber
    3. high in starch
    4. high in phytochemicals
       
       
13. EX 2 Brody says that refined grains (like the white flour in pasta) have a lot of pure starch, which can cause an abrupt rise in blood glucose because of its rapid digestion to glucose. She says, "The sudden influx of glucose can cause an overproduction of insulin that results in enough of a drop in blood glucose to cause hunger to return in an hour or two, prompting people to eat between meals-- often snacks of sugars and refined starches."
    
    What are the three nutrients (that Brody says are in whole grains) that can slow digestion and absorption? This increases satiety (fullness) and delays the return of hunger.
    
    
14. EX 2 What does this article say is in whole grains that seems to reduce the risk of diabetes?
    
    
15. EX 2 Read the article in the RESOURCES called Importing Health Hazards. This article says the U.S. now imports nearly what percent of the produce that we consume?
    
    Note from Instructor: This article is scary and my intention is not to add more fear into your lives. Instead, I hope this article provides another incentive to find affordable and convenient ways to choose locally grown produce. We're lucky that we have a producer of Oregon-grown frozen and canned produce, Norpac, just up I-5 near Salem.

    6. had early childhood feeding problems with the child
       
       
26. EX 2 Why, according to page 61-63 of CM, is Satter so strongly opposed to restricting a child's food intake?  
    1. It can slow her metabolism (another way of saying it can make her more metabolically efficient)  
    2. It can make her preoccupied with food.  
    3. It can make her prone to overeat.  
    4. It can weaken a parent's relationship with the child because they're not honoring him.  (Note that Satter deals with the "him/her" problem by rotating between talking about "him" and "her".)
    5. He may think of himself as not having much importance to others.  

    (Note from Instructor Parents usually have good intentions when they decide to restrict food intake for a child. Although the health risks of being overweight are often less than commonly thought (see page 50), it IS difficult, in the American culture, to feel you're a valued person if you're heavy. Parents want to avoid having their heavy children experience difficulties. I agree with Satter here, though, that the risks you take when you restrict are definitely not worth the very slim odds you have of the restriction actually working to help your child be a happier, healthier person.)
