	Nutrition - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nutrition is the study of the relationship between diet and states of health and disease.
		This makes scientifically valid nutritional study very time-consuming and expensive, which accounts for why a proper science of human nutrition is rather new.
		There is no apparent consisteny in science-based nutritional recommendations between countries, indicating the role of politics as well as cultural bias in research emphasis and interpretation.

	MSN Encarta - Human Nutrition
		Human Nutrition, study of how food affects the health and survival of the human body.
		In nutrition discussions, scientists use the term calorie instead of kilocalorie as the standard unit of measure in nutrition.
		The human body is 65 percent water, and it takes an average of eight to ten cups to replenish the water our bodies lose each day.

		Humans require food substances to supply the components necessary to build tissues, to repair tissues as they wear out and die, to keep the body in good working condition, and to supply fuel for energy.
		For good nutrition a person should eat a well-balanced diet, that is, one that provides an adequate amount of each of the classes of nutrients each day, furnishing at the same time an adequate but not excessive number of calories for the body's energy needs.
		Human proteins consist of up to 22 different amino acids, of which 9 (called essential amino acids) must be supplied by food protein; the other 13 are synthesized by human cells.

		To determine healthful nutrition standards, the Food and Nutrition Board of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS), a nonprofit, scholarly society that advises the United States government, periodically assembles committees of national experts to update and assess nutrition guidelines.
		The Nutrition Facts panel highlights a product’s content of fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, sodium, dietary fiber, vitamins A and C, and the minerals calcium and iron.
		For example, based on a daily diet of 2000 calories, nutrition experts recommend that no more than 30 percent of those calories should be from fat, which would allow for a daily intake of around 65 grams of fat.

	Protein Quality and Human Nutrition (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Both human clinical studies and animal research have demonstrated that soy protein products are comparable in digestibility to other high-quality protein sources, such as meat, milk, fish and egg (1,9-15).
		In human studies, ingestion of soy concentrate at a level equivalent to about 23 grams of protein a day did not result in any unfavorable trends in calcium, magnesium, zinc or iron assimilation (43).
		Human studies using isotope tracer methods showed no significant differences in iron absorption among three diets: one with soy isolate providing the dietary protein, another cow's milk, the third a mixture of the two (45-46).
