Answers to the Guide Questions: 1. No, there was no food in which all the nutrients were present. The most accurate one was the onion as it only lacked protein. The food with the least nutrients were the liver and sweet potato with 2 nutrients each. Fats and protein for the liver while starch and chloride for the sweet potato. 2. Milk is considered sufficient for babies because it contains plenty of nutrients. The fat in milk helps them develop their nerves and brain. It also helps strengthen a child's bones.

If we eat a lot, the tendency for us it to grow (whether vertically or horizontally) a lot too. If we eat healthy, our body also gets healthy (unhealthy, vice-versa). Scientifically speaking, our bodies absorb nutrients from the food we eat which affects our bodies external and internal functions. Performed July 18, 2012 Submitted July 26, 2012
