Complete Nutrition Questionnaire for Individuals

Are you getting too much saturated fat in your diet? Not getting enough vitamin E or vitamin C. Studies conducted by The Centers for Disease Control and the U.S. Department of Agriculture have found that most North Americans do not meet the recommendations in the USDA Food Guide Pyramid. As a result, many men and women are not getting enough zinc, calcium, antioxidants and other essential nutrients. NutritionQuest's Complete Nutrition Questionnaire provides all of the information you need to make the right choices about your diet. This is the same questionnaire used in numerous research studies, and the same questionnaire used by NASA to assess the nutritional intake of U.S. astronauts. COMING SOON FOR INDIVIDUALS.
