Food Supplements Food supplements are concentrated sources of nutrients or nutritious foods that have a specific physiological effect on the body. It has been mentioned that the American diet has increasingly become energy-rich but nutrient-poor; meaning basically that the foods eaten on a daily basis are not much more than empty calories. The 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends that consumers replace some foods in their diets with more nutrient-dense options to help improve the nutrient-to-energy ratio. The terms energy-dense and nutrient-poor are commonly used to characterize foods perceived as unhealthy and to distinguish them from options that are more nutritious. Negative terms, such as junk foods or empty calories, are commonly used in antithesis to such descriptors as healthful or part of a complete, nutritious diet. However, a review of the literature shows that the concept of a nutritious food is not based on any consistent standards or criteria. In many cases, healthful foods are defined by the absence of problematic ingredients (fat, cholesterol, sugar and sodium) rather than by the presence of any beneficial nutrients they might contain, such as vitamins, minerals, green foods, high ORAC (oxygen radical absorbance capacity) antioxidants, enzymes and healthful bacterium. Given the current dietary trends, eating nutrient-dense foods is an approach that can be considered a valuable tool for nutrition education and dietary guidance.
