Not following your distinction. Are you intimating that b/c the nutrients are in these foods, they might not be absorbed correctly and therefore it would diminish their benefits? (btw- the title was taken almost verbatim from the text)
- marze 12y agoI think post is pointing out that the foods haven't been tested to reduce chronic disease directly. The assumption that they would is because they have certain nutrients, and consumption of those nutrients has been associated with a risk reduction. BWT, density can be defined as nutrients per kg or per cal, when defined per cal this is what you get.
- Dylan16807 12y agoIt's easy to say that if you eat a serving of X food every single day you'll get enough of a specific nutrient. It's not easy to eat a serving each of A,B,C...J foods every single day. You can't ignore the need to remove other nutrient-containing foods to stay within your calorie budget. That's the difference between 'nutrients' and 'food with nutrients'.
