Answer to Question 1

 The relationship between adequate folic acid consumption and the lowered risk of neural tube defects led to the national policy of all grain products being fortified with folic acid.
 The relationship between diets low in fruits and vegetables and an increased risk of certain types of cancer led to an approved health claim on food labels.

Answer to Question 2

Epidemiology is the study of the distribution and determinants of health-related states and events in specified populations and the applications of this study to the control of health problems. The epidemiologist works to identify the causes of disease and to propose strategies for controlling or preventing health and nutrition problems.
