2.) True or false: Yogurt is as nutritious as milkoften more so.
j.
TRUE

k.
l.

True. Yogurt starts out as milk, which is fermented by bacteria. It is

usually thickened with nonfat milk solids. Thus yogurt has more calcium than
milk (up to 450 milligrams per cup) and more B vitamins. It can definitely
play a role in healthy diet, if you stick to the nonfat or low-fat kind.

3.) TRUE or FALSE: Trimming the fat eliminates most of the
cholesterol from meats?
p.
FALSE

q.
r.

All animal products contain cholesterol, which is found equally in the

lean meat and the fat: about 20 to 25 milligrams per ounce. But it is still
important to trim the fat from all meats and discard poultry skin, because the
highly saturated fat has a worse effect on your blood cholesterol than dietary
cholesterol itself.

ap. (C) Whole-wheat flour contains the bran and the germ, and thus is
rich in vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Wheat flour, whether bleached or
unbleached, loses vitamins and minerals when it is refined. Even when it is
enriched, only somenot allof these nutrients are added back in. "Twelvegrain" or "seven-grain" may not mean anything, since the bread can still be
mostly re-fined wheat ("white") flour. Most rye and pumpernickel contain
little or no whole grain, but if you can find whole-grain versions, they are
good, too.
