Food science is the study of producing, processing, preparing, evaluating, and using food. The study of nutrition dates
back to the early 1900’s and explores chemistry and biology as well as
physical laws that govern life.

Nutrients are the substances in food that actually provide the nourishment for the body and allow for body functioning.Almost all nutrients found in food can be man-made in a laboratory.
3 main functions:
A. provide energy
B. build and repair cells C. regulate body processes

Deficiency- the lack of a
specific nutrient(s)
Malnutrition- deficiencies of all nutrients; a life-threatening problem that has several causes:1. Poor Food Choices2. Can’t Afford Cost of Food3. Bad Weather Causes …
Food Shortages4. Poor Transportation deters importing
and exporting food5. Eating Disorders

Many people with eating disorders have coexisting psychiatric and physical illnesses, including depression, anxiety, obsessive behavior, substance abuse, cardiovascular and neurological complications, and impaired physical development. Other symptoms may develop over time include:
thinning of the bones (osteoporosis)
brittle hair and nails dry and yellowish skin growth of fine hair over
body (lanugo) mild anemia, and muscle
weakness and loss severe constipation low blood pressure, slowed
breathing/pulse lethargy
drop in internal body temperature, the person feels cold all the time
TREATING EATING DISORDERS involves three components:
1. restoring the person to a healthy weight; 2. Treating the psychological issues
related to the eating disorder; and 3. reducing or eliminating behaviors or
thoughts that lead to disordered eatingDo you believe the media
contributed to the prevalence of eating disorders?

Characteristics:•Refusal to eat; starvation•Death often Caused by heart attack•Linked to issues of “control”; when they feel out of control over other issues in their life, they CAN control what they put in their mouth
•Individuals may see themselves as fat Even when they are not
One of the most common eating disorders, with 90% of all cases
found in women

Characteristics:•Binge and purge eating (overeating and vomiting)•May involve the use of laxatives and diuretics to rid the body of food
•Acids regurgitated during vomiting damage teeth enamel and may damage the esophagus… even leading to hemorrhaging and eventually death

Unlike bulimia, individuals exhibiting binge-eating disorder have frequent periods of compulsive overeating, but do not purge. During these food binges, they often eat alone and very quickly, regardless
of whether they feel hungry or full. Sufferers often feel shame or guilt over their actions. Unlike anorexia and bulimia, binge-
eating disorder occurs almost as often in men as in women (National Eating Disorders
Association, 2002).

processes:
DIGESTIONMETABOLISM

BARRETT’S ESOPHAGUS occurs as a complication of chronic
GASTROESOPHAGEAL REFLUX DISEASE (GERD). GERD refers to the reflux of acidic fluid from the stomach into the esophagus (the
swallowing tube), and is classically associated with heartburn.
TYPHOID FEVER is an acute illness associated with fever caused by the Salmonella food poisoning bacteria. The bacteria are deposited in water or
food by a human carrier and are then spread to other people in the area. Today only 500 cases a year are reported in the United States, down from
35,000 a year in the 1920’s. This drop is attributed to improved sanitation.
Travelers to temperate regions of the world frequently experience diarrhea four days to two weeks after arriving. This illness is called TRAVELER’S
DIARRHEA. Other colorful and humorous terms used to describe this illness include "Montezuma's Revenge," the "Aztec Two Step," and "Turista" in
Mexico, the "Delhi Belly" in India, and the "Hong Kong Dog" in the Far East.
CROHN’S DISEASE is a chronic inflammatory disease of the intestines.

The mission of the United States Food and Drug Administration is to promote and protect the public health, and focuses on four strategic goals:•Increase access to new medical and food products •Improve patient and consumer safety •Improve the quality and safety of manufactured products and the supply chain •Strengthen the FDA for today and tomorrow
The FDA, as a entity of the U.S. government, has authority over food
safety and nutrition issues, dietary supplements, consumer information
about food, food allergens, food processing facilities, food additives and
supplements, industry hazard control plans, food labeling, food codes, food emergency programs, food imports, etc. This agency sometimes works alongside the U.S. Department or
Agriculture, or USDA on food production and inspection issues.
