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.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
