See book keywords and concepts |  Dried seedless grapes, raisins are a common snack food or used in cereals, cookies, and puddings. They are fairly high in iron, with one cup of raisins containing nearly 6 mg. Raisins are also rich in potassium, calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus, and have traces of copper, zinc, and manganese. They have fair amounts of the B vitamins and are often helpful in providing quick energy.
O VEGETABLES
Vegetables are another big topic, probably our most important one nutritionally. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Peanuts are a nutritious, ail-American favorite snack food.
In the early 1900s, botanist George Washington Carver mechanized peanut cultivation and developed more than three hundred ways to use peanuts in food. Since his pioneering work, peanuts have become an important crop in the United States.
Technically a legume, the peanut is unusual in two ways. After the flower is pollinated, the flower-bearing stalk elongates, forcing the young pod down into the soil, where it matures. This explains the English name for peanuts, groundnuts. |

The distinctions were arbitrary, with popped popcorn and Milky Way bars being taxed but unpopped popcorn and Milky Way ice cream bars left untaxed. Cupcakes were taxed but only when at room temperature (frozen cupcakes were exempt), while muffins, considered bread, were not taxed. M&M's sold as candy were taxed, but those sold for baking were not. An entire cake was tax-free, but a slice of the same cake was taxable. |

91. What is meant by functional foods?
This term refers to foods that contain physiologically active components that promote health and may prevent disease. Most foods are functional because they contain chemical nutrients that are essential for health. Currently there is a great deal of research on the phytochemical components of foods such as beta carotene and other cartenoids that are responsible for good health.

Buying Sunflower seeds are available shelled or unshelled, roasted and salted, or raw. Whole seeds have a good shelf life but once hulled they need to be refrigerated. Look for unbroken, even-colored seeds. Avoid discolored or rubbery seeds.

Begirming in the 1950s, the food industry capitalized on its ability to turn the domestically produced seed oils, which were plentiful, but not sufficiently marketable as liquid oils, into solid fats for the budding fast food industry and for the expanding baking and snack food industry.
In the late 1950s, an American researcher, Ancel Keys, announced that the CHD epidemic was being caused by the hydrogenated vegetable fats; previously this same person had introduced the idea that saturated fat was the culprit. |

The Good Food Versus Bad Food Debate
Throughout this book we refer to "healthy" and "unhealthy" foods. This runs counter to the stance of the American Dietetic Association, which holds that no food is good or bad, that every food can be part of a good eating plan.
"It is the position of the American Dietetic Association that all foods can fit into a healthful eating style. |

When those frustrating cravings urge you to eat chips, crackers, popcorn, or pretzels, here are some appetite-reducing strategies:
1. Crunch on crisp vegetables dipped in low-calorie, fat-free salad dressing. Instead of potato chips, go for carrot sticks decadently dripping with flavorful dressing. Keep carrot and celery sticks, as well as broccoli and cauliflower florets, handy in the refrigerator so you'll have no excuse to bypass this healthful alternative.
2. Ask yourself, "Am I really craving crunchy, salty foods, or am I instead craving fat? | | As the amount of their stress increased, so did the amount of snack food the subjects consumed.3
Women tend to stress-eat more than men, according to researcher Richard Straub of the University of Michigan. Straub asked groups of men and women to watch a movie designed to elicit stressful feelings, as well as a soothing travel film. During the stressful film, men ate less, while the women ate more. The men's eating increased during the travel film (maybe the thought of traveling is more stressful to men?). |

Several health benefits for older adults from banana consumption have been reported in the medical literature. In one study when a banana was given as a snack, either alone or with milk during the daily rest period, reported illness among industrial female workers decreased. The fruit was an ideal mid-morning pickup for them. In a second report, improvement in morale and decreased absenteeism among clerical workers were observed when employees were given supplements of bananas. | | Since kumquats are both sweet in their rinds and quite tart in their pulps, they appear to be an ideal snack food for obese subjects, satisfying both sweet and sour cravings at the same time.

Lemon Peel for Bleeding Gums
If your gums bleed quite a bit after brushing, then cut a small section of lemon peel from the fruit. Next turn it inside out so the white part is facing you. By wrapping enough of the peel around the tip of your second finger and holding the edges firmly with your thumb, you can rub your gums for a few minutes each day with the white part. |

See book keywords and concepts | | Try always to have fresh fruit on hand and rely on it as your main snack food. Even though some fresh fruits can be expensive, especially in winter, they're really no more expensive than many other snacks that are loaded with sugar and saturated fats. Don't forget salads: Try to have one a day (and remember to make your own dressing using low-fat ingredients). In addition to these dietary shifts, I usually recommend that my patients take a teaspoon of miller's bran daily, or more if they have constipation. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Cottonseed oil is not as widely produced as it was formerly, but it is still popular with snack food processors and manufacturers of oils for use in restaurants, catering concerns, and similar volume businesses. Concerns such as these value the fact that because some of its saturated fat content is removed to facilitate storage, it has a somewhat better "keeping quality" than mass-produced soybean oil. Health-wise consumers, however, avoid it.
11. True or false: Coconut oil is as beneficial as safflower.
Not true. The oil from coconut is saturated, just like beef fat. |

As far as unlabeled foods are concerned, here are some guidelines.
Fruits, vegetables and beans. They're low in fat and high in carbohydrates, just the ticket for a healthy diet. Just don't cancel out their low-fat benefits by smothering them in high-fat butter, margarine or cream.

See book keywords and concepts | | Sunflower seeds have many other uses besides as an oil or nutritious snack food. They can be sprinkled on salads, are used in baking breads and cookies, and can be baked in vegetable casseroles to add protein, flavor, and crunch. A ground or blended sunflower-sesame sprinkle with a bit of salt or other seasonings can be a nutrient-rich, low-sodium seasoning. Almond-sunflower blend is also good, and a spicy high-mineral protein blend includes ground sunflower and sesame seeds (either white or black), nori seaweed flakes, and cayenne pepper. |

7. Avoid regular consumption of foods containing sodium nitrite, such as hot dogs, sausages and smoked fish. If you do occasionally eat such food, eat an orange along with it or take 100 miligrams of vitamin C.
8. Try to avoid cooking foods at high temperatures or in direct flames. |

Miso
Miso is a paste made from fermented soybeans and a grain. It makes a wonderful base for flavoring soups, sauces, dressings, and stews; add it at the end of the cooking process because its complex flavor can change. A soothing cup of miso can be a comforting snack. |

See book keywords and concepts | | Popcorn is a very popular and fairly healthy snack food, low in calories. Its high-fiber content helps intestinal activity. Cornmeal or corn flour can be made into cornbread or corn tortillas. Young corn is high in oil, and corn oil is commonly used in cooking, especially in baked goods, and in margarines. The mash left after the oil is pressed is made into a polenta that is much like cornmeal. Polenta can be mixed with beans to increase the total protein content or with leafy greens to improve the vitamin and mineral content of the meal.
Corn itself is fairly rich in vitamin A. |
