Which nutritional term best describes the following statement? A mushroom grows on a dead tree in the woods.?

What is the nutritional content of fish gills?
This may or not be useful for you; Fish don't actually contain an awful lot of blood so probably not very rich in iron, not compared to other animals such as beef (red meat). The best part to eat on the fish from a nutritional point of view is actually the skin extremely high in Omega 3 fatty acid chains (not the widely available plant version) and other essential fatty acids. I own a fish related business see below and have studied fish broadly for a number of years.
How valid is a nutritional statement that is not FDA approved?
What you can take from it is that they didn't want to spend the money involved in testing the effectiveness of the product. Product testing runs in the tens of thousands of dollars at a minimum, and can easily run much higher than that. It requires human testing, which means jumping through a lot of hoops if you want to get your results published in a peer-reviewed journal, which is what's required.Sometimes, a product will have been through less rigorous testing, with small groups. Usually, they'll publicize that, though a little critical thought will reveal the holes in their testing methodology. The FDA won't accept that as sufficient proof for the claim.For other products, they're just flat-out guessing.The FDA does not review these labels before they go out. The manufacturers get to sell the product, as long as it has the legally-mandated language in the appropriate font size and other requirements:http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/sc...The FDA investigates only if it comes to their attention. Labels often skirt the requirements as close as they think they can get away with, and the claims they make are often contorted to try to pass. I'm told by people in the supplement industry that the FDA has been cracking down on that in the last few years, showing up at trade shows and even shuttering booths for products that cross the line. But the FDA's budget isn't huge, and a lot of products escape their notice.So, strictly speaking, you can't read anything into the statement except that the manufacturer doesn't have the money to spend on testing, or doesn't want to spend it. In practice, I'm extremely skeptical: if it works wonders, you'll find a way to meet the requirements.

The selected nutritional information we provide is listed on our menu in restaurants or at http://www.fridays.com/menu.htm. We do not provide ingredient statements. Each of our Atkins® menu items list NET CARBS. We also offer a variety of menu items with great tastes and flavors which are approximately 10g FAT AND 500 CALORIES. You can find these items on our menu with the fat and calorie information listed below the menu item description. As our guest we know you expect our high standards in innovation, choice and value. Watch our on-line menu as we continue to expand our menu offerings.” --- Isn't it a federal law, which you HAVE to provide nutritional information for all menu items?
Which of the following statements must be true?
C= -1.02F + 93.63 The linear regression model above is based on an analysis of nutritional data from 14 varieties of cereal bars to relate the percent of calories from fat (F) to the percent of calories from carbohydrates (C). Based on this model, which of the following statements must be true? please show me how u got ur answer. I. There is a positive correlation between C and F. II. When 20 percent of calories are from fat, the predicted percent of calories from carbohydrates is approximately 73. III. The slope indicates that as F increases by 1, C decreases by 1.02. A. II only B. I and II only C. I and III only D. II and III only E. I, II, III

Make a general statement describing the relative energy content of high-fat versus low-fat snack foods.?
Based on your knowledge of the fat content of different snack foods (or if necessary, please consult their nutritional labels to obtain this information), please answer the question above... Please help... I would really appreciate....
Why don't the grams on nutritional labels add up?
Also, some numbers on the label are subsets, so if you add them all without paying attention, they won't add up. For example, a product may contain 8 g. carbohydrate, 4 g. fiber, and 2 g. sugar. These are all listed separately, but the fiber and sugar are both already included in the carbohydrate listing. So if you just add all the numbers, you are counting the grams of fiber and sugar twice.
