Explanation:

Question 8

Cooking generally has little effect on the mineral content of food as minerals are more stable to heat compared to some vitamins. So the statement "Cooking destroys minerals" is false.

Macrominerals are needed in relatively large amounts. Potassium, sodium, calcium, and phosphorus are all macrominerals. Iron, folate, manganese, thiamin, riboflavin, selenium, fluoride, copper, iodine are either microminerals or vitamins, not macrominerals.

A balanced diet can usually provide all the necessary vitamins and minerals for good health. Most people do not need a daily vitamin and mineral supplement unless they have a specific deficiency or medical condition. So the statement is false.

Answer:

False
