(a)
Interpretation:
The three foods that can be ranked as highest in promoting our health have to be selected and the criteria on which basis the foods are selected have also to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Food and climate:
Food and climate are linked in interesting ways. The universal food industry requires a large amount of energy, transport and a large storage place. There is possibility for the cultivated food to get affected due to climatic changes. How the way the food is grown or raised, and then produced and processed, can also impact the environment. Current modern agricultural practices are actually a leading contributor to climate change.

- - Why is high pressure an attractive approach to sterilization and food preservation? a. It is much cheaper than thermal approaches. b. It preserves nutritional and sensory properties of foods much better than heat. c. It allows many other kinds of containers that cannot otherwise be used with heat. d. High-pressure equipment offers higher profit margins for manufacturers. So biophysical chemists can have jobs e.arrow_forwardOne of the most common types of kidney stones are composed of calcium oxalate. In addition to calcium oxalate another product is also formed in the formation of kidney stones in the body. Certain foods are high in oxalate and lead to an increase of forming kidney stones in the human body. These high-risk foods are as follows: Spinach Swiss Chard Almonds (nuts in general) Sesame Seeds Soy Products (such as soy-based milk, cheese, yogurt) Sweet Potatoes Okra Beets Chocolate Black Tea Another risk factor to developing kidney stones is not drinking enough water. Males have a higher chance than females of developing kidney stones, with the average age being 30. Oxalate in food binds to calcium during digestion in the stomach and intestines and then is excreted in the body as waste. If too much oxalate appears in the urine and not enough liquid (due to not drinking enough water), then calcium oxalate crystals form, which are the kidney stone. A 35 year old male was taken to the hospital…arrow_forwardA 70.0-kg person had a quarter-pound cheeseburger, French fries, and a chocolate shake.
