Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
The AI for water, which includes total water from drinking water, other beverages, and water in solid foods, is constant from 19 years of age through more than 70 years old, with 3.7 L/day for men and 2.7 L/day for women.

Answer to Question 2

C
Young women may have inadequate intakes of calcium and iron because they may restrict foods that are good sources of these nutrients to try to control their weight. Bioavailability is not af-fected by stress. Processed foods tend to be poor sources of calcium and iron, but young women do not necessarily have high intakes of processed foods. Requirements for these minerals can be met with a well-planned diet without use of supplements.
