Answer to Question 1

TRUE

Answer to Question 2

A functional food is a food that has a positive effect on health beyond providing basic nutrients. Naturally occurring phytochemicals are found in whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and healthy vegetable oils; zoochemicals are present in fish, dairy products, and other foods derived from animals. These foods can be part of a healthy diet based on the MyPlate pattern. Packaged functional foods can be consumed if you take care to avoid overconsumption of any given compound. A registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN) can provide advice on the benefits of functional foods in your diet and how to balance them with food intake.
