Q

Sugar alcohols

A

fewer calories than glucose and often used as sugar replacers in sugar free foods which reduces the number of calories but does not make it zero

Q

tagatose

A

fructose isomer created in lab which is 90% sweeter and has fewer calories than glucose therefore it can be used in diabetic candy and sugar free foods.

Q

gastric emptying

A

moving food from stomach to small intestine; delayed by fibre creating a feeling of satiety

22
Q

small intestine:

A

duodenum, jejunum and ileum; 10-20ft long; 1in diameter; villi and microvilli contribute to large surface area;

23
Q

villi

A

contain an artery, vein, and lymphatic capillary,

24
Q

collection of microvilli

A

brush border

25
chemical digestion in small intestine
pancreatic amylase and brush border enzymes
26
brush border enzymes
maltase, sucrase, lactase
27
lactose intolerance
condition where individuals can't digest disaccharide lactose due to hypolactasia which is a reduction in lactase activity.
28
what milk is recommended for people with lactose intolerance?
goats milk because it has a lower concentration of lactose mass/volume
29
what % of Canadians self report lactose intolerance | ?
16%
30
what are symptoms of lactose intolerance?
diarrhea, abdominal bloating and pain, flatulence, and nausea
31
primary vs secondary lactose intolerance?
primary: changes in expression of the LCT gene leading to a reduction in lactase after age 2-3 secondary: congenital lactase deficiency where a newborn does not produce lactase at birth
32
lactase persistent:
people who can consume large quantities of dairy containing lactose with no symptoms
33
3 genotypes associated with lactose tolerance:
homozygous persistent: no symptoms heterozygous: less lactase produced resulting in symptoms if there is intestinal injury or disturbance homozygous non-persistent: least amount of lactase, likely to present symptoms
34
where is lactase persistence most and least common globally?
most: northwestern Europe least: africa, caribbean, Mexico, asia
35
what might help with lactose intolerance aside from enzyme supplements or lactose free dairy?
consuming full fat milk which causes a delay in gastric emptying.
36
where are carbohydrates absorbed
once broken down in bush border, absorbed in upper small intestine
37
how are carbs absorbed?
fructose: facilitated diffusion | glucose and galactose: active transport
38
what regulates phase of glucose? blood sugar
insulin, glucagon, epinephrine
39
Which organ is responsible for converting galactose to glucose?
liver
40
what are the different categories for recommended carb intake?
total carbohydrate intake free sugar intake fibre intake grain product intake
41
what is glucose used for in the body?
glycolysis to provide energy for our cells.
42
what is a whole grain made up of?
endosperm bran germ
43
what does grain refining do?
removes bran and germ
44
what is missing from refined grains in terms of nutrients
``` fibre vitamin b minerals antioxidants vitamin e ```
45
what does research indicate about people who consume whole grains daily
lower body mass index BMI, cholesterol, blood sugar,
46
what is the RDA for carbs?
130 grams of carbs per day
47
define ketosis:
increase in kept acid production by the liver which can provide alternate fuel to the brain when blood glucose levels are low
48
AMDR for carbs?
45-65% of total calories consumed.
49
'bliss point'. What does this term refer to?
The perfect level of sweetness of a product
50
One of the reasons that added sucrose is detrimental to our health is that the monosaccharide (fill in blank) is converted to (fill in blank) in the liver.
fructose, fat
