According to their quiz, there isn't a single food source of Vitamin D.

After taking that quiz I'm strongly considering becoming a vagitarian.

I should ask the admins to add a sarcasm font. That quiz was clearly designed by nonthinkers for nonthinkers.Originally Posted by nano.ix

thats actually true.Originally Posted by Opies

A Quick Critique:Originally Posted by signature166
"Correct" Answer: BQuestion #1:
A "good" type of fat is ...
A. Hydrogenated oil
B. Monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fat
C. Trans fat and saturated fat
My Answer: None of the above.
Besides the problematic use of the english language contained in the question itself, the answer choices are terrible. Saturated fat should not be lumped together like that with trans fat. The worst part is that polyunsaturated fats are not at all "good" for you in the way that this nonthinking question writer meant when (s)he wrote the question.
"Correct" Answer: CQuestion #2:
Some benefits of a vegetarian diet that includes dairy products are ...
A. An ample supply of Vitamin B12
B. A lower intake of saturated fats
C. A reduced risk for chronic disease such as heart disease
My Answer: Who fcking cares? Why not simply eat an omnivorous diet with adequate macro and micronutrient intake while maintaining a healthy body composition?
"Correct" Answer: CQuestion #3:
Which vitamin can only be obtained from sunlight and supplements?
A. E
B. K
C. D
My Answer: Use of "only" gives this question no right answer.
"Sources of Vitamin D
Food
Very few foods in nature contain vitamin D. The flesh of fish (such as salmon, tuna, and mackerel) and fish liver oils are among the best sources [5]. Small amounts of vitamin D are found in beef liver, cheese, and egg yolks. Vitamin D in these foods is primarily in the form of vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) and its metabolite 25(OH)D3 [19]. Some mushrooms provide vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol) in variable amounts [20-22]."

Poorly written and boring. NEXT!Question #4:
Nuts are ...
Fattening no matter what
High-calorie but good for you in small doses
Mostly full of trans fats
"Correct" Answer: AQuestion #5:
Low-carbohydrate diets can put you at risk for ...
A. Insufficient nutrients
B. Gaining weight
C. Osteoporosis
My Answer: While its true that "A" is the correct answer, the question itself and the answer choices suggest that the author has the low-carb strawman in mind--the low-carb diet consisting of bacon and ground beef and cups of heavy whipping cream that is completely lacking in vegetables and fruits. Not too mention that the standard american diet puts you at risk for insufficient nutrients, as does a vegan diet.
"Correct" Answer: AQuestion #6:
Peas and beans are good plant sources of ...
A. Protein
B. Monounsatured fat
C. Cholesterol
My Answer: Sure. Somebody has a hard-on for vegetarian diets and (s)he's obliquely attacking one of the major criticisms of the vegan/vegatarian diet, that of insufficient protein. I can understand why some people believe that meat-containing diets are "bad" for you since meat is "high" in the saturated fat bogeyman, but vegetarian diets are not the solution to CVD, CAD, diabeetus and the like.
"Correct" Answer: CQuestion #7
A primary risk factor for diabetes is ...
A. A high-sugar diet
B. A low-carbohydrate diet
C. A high-calorie diet
My Answer: A and C combined, but not C by itself and not A by itself (if by high-calorie they mean "consistently consuming more calories than you expend thus causing excess fat accumulation"). This question is misleading-at-best. I want to see this quiz writer's credentials, NOW!
"Correct" Answer: BQuestion #8:
Eggs with brown eggshells are ...
A. Healthier than eggs with white eggshells
B. Made by a different breed of hens than eggs with white eggshells
C. Better for baking than eggs with white eggshells
My Answer: Who f*cking cares?!?! This quiz is supposed to be about the nutritional "ABCs" which usually means basics or foundational principles--this question is neither and therefore irrelevant.
"Correct" Answer: AQuestion #9:
The USDA recommends at least how many daily ounces of whole-grain bread, rice and the like?
A. 3
B. 5
C. 10
My Answer: I tend not to listen to what the USDA (A = Agriculture) says. Also, the quiz writer ignores the underlying daily calorie expenditure assumption implicit in this recommendation (i.e., a 2000 calorie diet). I know the USDA's new food guidelines give different recommendations for people who have different caloric expenditures--I applaud their efforts--but the quiz writer conveniently forgot to mention this important fact.
"Correct" Answer: AQuestion #10:
Skipping breakfast is a good way to ...
A. Gain weight
B. Curb your appetite later in the day
C. Lose weight
My Answer: This question is a language and logic fail. I know what the studies say about skipping breakfast and body composition, as well as benefits of consuming protein after an overnight fast, but that doesn't change the fact that this is a poorly worded question with terrible answer choices.
