因為我們的生存離不開它們,所以被認(rèn)為是必須的營養(yǎng)素。15. Nutrition might be defined as process whereby we obtain the essential nutrients and use them to make many other substances our bodies need. This process would include eating digesting food absorbing and using, or metabolizing, the nutrients it contains.吸收營養(yǎng)素可以被定義為我們所吸收的營養(yǎng)素和利用他們?nèi)ソM建我們需要的其他物質(zhì)的一個過程。但是過量的攝取某種營養(yǎng)素便會暴露缺陷和導(dǎo)致死亡。照此理解,他們被設(shè)計成為為大規(guī)模食品服務(wù)業(yè)提供支持服務(wù),從而每天所提供的食品營養(yǎng)素才可以參照RDA的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。Perhaps the most obvious, and certainly the most prevalent problem of food safety is microbiological food poisoning. This is a serious in nearly every country, but another aspect of food safety is primarily concerned with chemicals.食品安全的概念包含很多方面,最顯而易見和最普遍的食品安全問題是微生物食品污染,這是在每個國家都有的重要問題,但其他方面的食品安全主要和化學(xué)藥品有關(guān)。25. The pounds added to foods for special purposes are called food additives. Examples are antioxidants added to oils to prevent rancidity, preservatives to prevent food from spoiling, colorants to make food more appealing, etc. Most of these chemicals are generally regarded as necessary and safe.這些有目地加入到食品當(dāng)中的物質(zhì)被稱為食品添加劑。27. Four times each year, 234 food items representing the diets of American consumers are purchased in different cities around the United States. These are prepared as they would be in the home, and then analyzed for actual levels of pesticides, industrial chemicals, heavy metals, radio nuclides, and essential minerals.每年4次,有代表了來自美國不同城市消費者的膳食的234項食品參加了試驗。28. The intakes for eight agesex groups are pared with the acceptable daily intakes (ADI) as established by the Food and Agriculture Organization/ World Health Organization of the United Nations. (The ADI is the acceptable daily intake of a chemical that, if ingested over a lifetime, appears to be without appreciable risk.) 8個年齡性別組的攝入量被拿去與由世界糧農(nóng)組織和世界衛(wèi)生組織建立的每日允許攝入量(ADI)作比較。大多數(shù)這些化學(xué)物質(zhì)一般被認(rèn)為是安全和有必要的。每一個方面在食品的概念中有不同的側(cè)重點。21. Using the RDA as standards for evaluating the adequacy of nutrient intakes is like setting the standard for height 7 feet and assuming that all of those under7 feet have suffered g
