Answer to Question 1

The lower kcal feeding with fiber is less concentrated with 1.06 kcals/cc vs 2 kcals/cc, less protein with 36.6 g/L vs 83.7 g/L, has fiber (14.4 g/L), and has more free water.

Answer to Question 2

I would inform Mr. F about the laws, or lack of laws, regulating supplements and would point out some of the dangers of taking the wrong supplements, using aspirin, garlic, and vitamin E as an example. I would further explain the training of a dietitian and encourage him to seek professional advice.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
