Questions that go with lectures #2- #35 are at the bottom. Knowing the answers to the lecture questions will definitely help on the exams!

Textbook: Nutrition: An Applied Approach, 2nd edition; by Thompson and Manore. The text we're using is a CUSTOM edition created specially for this class. It contains only the chapters we use and costs $20 less than the standard text. It is OK to use the standard text that was used last year - you can just skip the chapters we do not read. New books are available at the Textbook Annex and Jeffrey Amherst bookstore.
