Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Irradiation does not use heat so it is sometimes referred to as cold pasteurization. Bacteria, mold, fungi, and insects are destroyed as the food is exposed to radiant energy.

Answer to Question 2

B
Zinc deficiency may be prevented by making breads with yeast; the yeast breaks the bond be-tween the zinc and phytic acid which prevents it from being absorbed. Eating refined grains would result in even lower zinc intake; fortification of grains does not include adding zinc; and soaking grains before making bread does not release the zinc from the phytic acid.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
