To test your nutritional 1.Q., take this quiz on dietary fat from Dairy Council Inc.: True or False? 1. Some foods are inherently good for you, while others should be eliminated from the diet. 2. In order to follow current advice to limit calories from fat to 30 percent, high-fat foods should be eliminated from the diet. 3. Low-fat or no-fat foods are more nutritious than foods with fat. Multiple Choice 4. Which has more fat? a. a croissant b. a tablespoon of mayonnaise c. both are equal 5. Which of these dairy pro ducts is lowest in fat? a. lowfat fruit yogurt (1 cup) b. lowfat cottage cheese (% cup) c. parmesan cheese (1 tables poon) d. all are equal 6. Which of the following supplies the greatest amount of fat in our food supply? a. meats b. daily products c. fats/oils/others Answers (True/False) 1. False. There are no “good” or “bad” foods, only “good” or “bad” diets. A variety of foods in moderation from the four food groups is the key to a well balanced, healthy diet. 2. False. Foods with a high fat content can be part of the diet when they are balanced by lower fat trade-offs. While fat is an important consideration, so are nutrients the food contains. If fat is used as the sole criterion, it’s possible that the diet could be low in calcium or iron. 3. False. Low-fat foods are not necessarily more nutritious. A diet soda, for example, contains no fat ... it also has almost no nutritive value. An avocado, on the other hand, contains fat, but also pro vides many essential nutrients such as vitamins A and C.
