Question

read the statement on the right and select the dri guideline on the left that fits with the statement. you may use a dri recommendation more than once. if the entire class ate the ______ for a nutrient, about 97% would get more than they need. about half of a given population will not get enough if they consume the ____. there may be negative consequences if people consume more than the ____. the __ tells us the maximum amount we should consume before our risk of chronic disease increases. this guideline is set when we dont have enough information to set the rda. the rda is set using the ____. the only nutrient that currently has a ______ is sodium. dropdown options: rda, cdrr, ul, ai, ear (shown in dropdown menus)

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each statement with DRI (Dietary Reference Intakes) definitions:

1. “If the entire class ate the ______ for a nutrient, about 97% would get more than they need”

• UL (Tolerable Upper Intake Level): Highest daily intake unlikely to cause adverse effects. If a group consumes UL, most (≈97%) exceed their needs (since UL is the upper safe limit).
• Answer: UL

2. “About half of a given population will not get enough if they consume the ______”

• EAR (Estimated Average Requirement): Meets the needs of 50% of the population. So half (50%) will not meet their needs if they consume EAR.
• Answer: EAR

3. “There may be negative consequences if people consume more than the ______”

• UL (Tolerable Upper Intake Level): Consuming above UL increases risk of adverse effects (negative consequences).
• Answer: UL

4. “The ______ tells us the maximum amount we should consume before our risk of chronic disease increases”

• CDRR (Chronic Disease Risk Reduction Intake): Focuses on reducing chronic disease risk (e.g., sodium for hypertension).
• Answer: CDRR

5. “This guideline is set when we don’t have enough information to set the RDA”

• AI (Adequate Intake): Used when data is insufficient for RDA (relies on observed/experimental intakes of healthy people).
• Answer: AI

6. “The RDA is set using the ______”

• EAR (Estimated Average Requirement): RDA is derived from EAR (RDA = EAR + 2 standard deviations, to cover 97–98% of the population).
• Answer: EAR

7. “The only nutrient that currently has a ______ is sodium”

• CDRR (Chronic Disease Risk Reduction Intake): Sodium is the only nutrient with a CDRR (to reduce hypertension risk).
• Answer: CDRR

Final Answers (matching each blank):

1. UL
2. EAR
3. UL
4. CDRR
5. AI
6. EAR
7. CDRR
