Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale: Increased calcium excretion through short-term urinary losses associated with long-term high caffeine intake has been associated with bone mineral density loss in older females. Edema is associated by sodium retention. Alopecia, or hair loss, and dermatitis are associated with zinc deficiency.

Answer to Question 2

C
Fat contains more energy per gram than any other nutrient (9 kcal/g versus 4 kcal/g for protein and carbohydrate and 9 kcal/g for alcohol). Therefore, relative small increases or decreases in fat intake can result in significant increases or decreases in energy intake.
