Aren't you guys going to take my nutrition quiz?

I just took it.

I scored: 6/10

I got the first one wrong (about the chewing gum).

I got the second one right because I figured thats what they'd want me to say.

Question 3 was about mixing alcohol and something. I've been watching The OC (I know it's very VERY unmanly of me) so I hit Anti-depressants.

Question 4: I love late night snacking!!! How can it make anyone fat??? hahahah!!

Question 5: I thought carrots did improve eyesight….another old wive's tale!!!

Question 6: Pimples do not co relate to diet.

Question 7: Grapefruit does not help burn calories at all.

Question 8: Heartburn = Coffee?? Yep..got that one because the others were retarded. hahaha

Question 9: You can base your entire diet on bananas and actually lose weight? Shit…you could base your diet on any ONE thing and lose weight!!

Question 10: Milk does not equal healthy bones. I thought calcium…..:( Shit

Score: 6/10

I just meant my quiz on this page, lol. Mine is better!

I did that first! :)

Well the calcium and milk versus greens thing is a myth. The calcium in milk is plenty "bioavailable" and yes, you can get plenty of calcium from milk. One part of this belief about milk calcium is the idea that there is so much protein in milk that the calcium will be utilized to metabolize the protein therefore negating the calcium from the milk.

I covered the carrot thing.

It is still unclear exactly how and when pimples MAY relate to diet. It seems to be that chocolate doesn't make you "break out" as so many people believed for so long but it has by no means been definitively "proven" that diet doesn't sometimes effect this. Epidemiological studies have shown some correlations. I know somebody will probably be thinking that epidemiological studies are 'worthless' but they are not. They can show correlations which can sometimes lead to further direct findings of cause. And it is a bit difficult to study such a thing without epidemiological studies. There are huge debates over this because, one, diet can affect hormones and acne seems to be primarily hormone related. And many think that food can be inflammatory which would mean pro-acne since it is an inflammatory process. Certain fatty-acids, are anti-inflammatory. It could be that fatty-acid status has a role and thus diet has a role. There are reports of Alaskan Inuits getting acne all of a sudden after never having any to speak of after they incorporated more of a sugary diet when traditionally their primary diet was based on seal blubber. None of this proves anything either but the point is that it is not known. Again…it's not a TRUE Or FALSE proposition!
