Folic acid may help prevent heart disease and colon cancer as well as support a healthy nervous system. Research

combined with B-12, folic acid is best absorbed with other nutrients. Certain drugs such as anti-ulcer medications,
ibuprofen and the blood-sugar-regulator Metformin, can deplete folic acid levels. Deficiency is common,
particularly in older patients, so we recommend talking with your healthcare practitioner and checking your blood
serum levels.

20) Ray & Terry recommend that your daily fat intake not exceed what percent of your overall
daily caloric intake?

A. 20%
B. 7%
C. 65%
D. 40%

Feedback
Ray & Terry now recommend that 20-40% of your daily calories come from healthy fats, depending on your
individually-appropriate percentages of protein and carbs. In earlier years, fat was seen as negative across the board
and the solution was to significantly limit total fat intake. However, a clearer understanding of inflammation and the
types of fats have contributed to an evolution in thinking. Research now indicates that the total amount of fat you eat,
whether high or low, isn't really linked with disease. What really matters is the type of fat you eat.
