The UK recommended daily
calcium intake for an adult woman
is 700mg per day. Which of these
foods contains around 700mg of
calcium?
3.5oz (100g) of cheddar
cheese
3.5oz (100g) of low fat fruit
yoghurt
3.5 oz (100g) of boiled
spinach
3.5 oz (100g) of dairy ice
cream, with 3.5oz (100g) of
dried apricots
The correct answer is A.
A 3.5oz (100g) contains an
estimated 739mg of calcium.
All the other foods in the list
are good sources of calcium,
but they don't come near the
daily amount. Other foods
very high in calcium are
certain fish, including
whitebait and sardines.
Which of these vitamins
can be taken into the
body from sunlight?
vitamin
vitamin
vitamin
vitamin
A
B
C
D
The right answer is D.
 Vitamin D is needed by the body
to absorb calcium which helps
maintain healthy bones. Most
people who are out and about
absorb plenty of this vitamin
through the sun's rays, but older
people, especially those who are
housebound, need to take extra
care that they have a sufficient
vitamin D intake - everyone over
the age of 65 is recommended to
take a daily vitamin D
supplement. Food sources of
vitamin D include margarine and
oily fish.
If a food label in the UK says
'contains organic ingredients'
what proportion of the product
must be organic?
100 percent
95-100 percent
70-95 percent
at least 50
percent
The correct answer is C.
But, if a product
is simply labeled
'organic' then it
has to contain at
least 95 per cent
organic
ingredients
What is the difference
between a 'use by' date and a
'best before' date?
 a 'best before' date shows how long a
shop can sell a food, 'use by' shows
when you need to eat it
 they mean exactly the same, but
'best before' is used for packaged
foods
 'best before' gives a deadline for
freezing food, 'use by' gives a date
for eating it
 a 'use by' date is given for foods that
could be dangerous if you eat them
after expiry, a 'best before' date just
shows it might not taste as good
The best answer is D.
Foods, such as meat and fish
can cause food poisoning if
they aren't eaten within a
certain time limit, even if
they look and taste fine.
These foods are marked with
a 'use by' date. Other foods,
such as coffee granules and
biscuits have a 'best before'
date because they may not
look or taste as good after
the expiry date.
According to studies,
what proportion of UK
adults have a food
intolerance?
1-2 percent
5 percent
15-20 percent
50 percent
The correct answer is A.
However, an
estimated 10-20
percent of UK adults
claim to be
intolerant or
'allergic' to a food.
As part of a healthy diet, which of
the following foods has been
highlighted as helping to cut your
risk of a coronary heart disease?
pasta
lean steak
oily fish
skinless chicken
The right answer is C.
Oily fish, including salmon,
mackerel and sardines are
rich in a special type of fat
known as omega 3 fatty
acids. A good intake of
omega 3 fatty acids has been
shown to substantially
reduce a person's risk of a
fatal heart attack. The UK
Government recommends
eating one to two portions of
oily fish every week.
Which of the following counts
as one portion towards the
recommended five plus
portions of fruit and
vegetables per day?
a dessert bowl of salad
a 150ml glass of fruit
juice
three heaped
tablespoons of beans or
pulses
all of the above
The right answer is D.
All of these foods
represent a portion
towards your five a
day.
For a general healthy diet,
approximately what percentage of
your daily calories should be made
up from starchy foods like bread
and potatoes?
10
33
66
75
percent
percent
percent
percent
The right answer is B.
We should get our main
source of energy from
starchy foods. Of course,
some carbohydrate foods
are better than others wholegrain rice, bread
and pasta are the
healthier choices, while
sugary foods should be
kept to an occasional
treat.
The recommended daily salt intake
in the UK is 6g per day. But how
much salt does the average man
and woman in Britain actually
consume?
men consume an average
7g, women an average 6g
men and women both have
about 6g per day
men consume an average
11g, women an average 8g
men and women consume
an average 15g
The right answer is C.
Even if you don't add
sprinkle salt over your
dinner, eating more than the
recommended daily
allowance is alarmingly easy
- 75 per cent of salt we
consume is already in the
foods we eat, such as readymade soups, breads and
ready meals. High salt intake
is linked to raised blood
pressure, so it makes sense
to cut down.
According to nutrition experts
what percentage of body weight
lost in fluids may result in reduced
mental and physical performance?
one percent
two percent
five percent
ten percent
The correct answer is B.
Of course, the amount of
fluid we need to drink
each day varies from
person to person, and
depends on what we're
doing and the climate
where we live. Excessive
fluid intake should be
avoided as it can cause
serious health problems.
