Where does energy come from?
Body uses energy when doing work
Energy comes directly from the sun by way of plants
When you eat plants you are getting the stored energy from the sun.
When you eat animal tissue you are eating compounds containing energy that came originally from the sun

Can I Live On Just Supplements?
Elemental diets – diets with a precise chemical composition.
– Lifesaving for people who cannot eat ordinary food.
– Not appropriate over long periods for healthy people as “meal replacers” or “insurance” against malnutrition.

Food is better than supplements– The digestive system can break down and absorb nutrients
most efficiently from whole foods
– Eating provides physical, psychological, and social comfort for people as well
When you eat foods, you are receiving more than nutrients

Nutrition is a science so scientists and dieticians work together to develop studies that are well designed, controlled, and reviewed by other experts
Many studies take a long time to complete so information may not be available as quickly as most people would like it to be

Scientific Challenge
Once a finding is published, it is still only preliminary
One experiment does not “prove” or “disprove” anything
Must be duplicated, supported, and challenged by other scientists
A finding that has stood up to repeated rigorous testing may become a theory
