Answer to Question 1

Yes, since these agents should not cause diarrhea until the ingested material reaches the colon, after digestion and absorption have taken place.

Answer to Question 2

 Total Fat1  25-35 of total kcals
 Saturated  less than 7 of total kcals
 Polyunsaturated  up to 10 of total kcals
 Monounsaturated  up to 20 of total kcals
 Carbohydrate2  50-60 of total calories
 Protein  approximately 15 of total kcals
 Cholesterol  less than 200 mg per day
 Total Calories  balance energy intake and expenditure to maintain desirable body weight and prevent weight gain

5) The 25-35 fat recommendation allows for increased intake of unsaturated fat in place of carbohydrates in people with the metabolic syndrome or diabetes.
6) Carbohydrate should come mainly from foods rich in complex carbohydrates. These include grains (especially whole grains), fruits and vegetables.
7) Daily energy expenditure should include at least moderate physical activity (contributing about 200 kcal a day).

Options include adding 10-25 grams of viscous (soluble) fiber; 2 g/day of plant-derived sterols or stanols. Soy protein may be used as a replacement for some animal products.1
