Critical Thinking
1. Ka Ming is 54 years old and has lived in the United States since 1964. An annual physical revealed that his total blood cholesterol is 280mg/100 ml and his HDL cholesterol is 25 mg/100ml. He is of normal weight, and does not smoke. He works as a laboratory technician so spends part of the day on his feet, but gets little other exercise. A medical history reveals that none of Ka Ming’s relatives in China have had cardiovascular disease.
Assess Ka Min’s risk for developing cardiovascular disease?
Why might his positive family history not be a true indication of Ka Ming’s risk?
2. A diet analysis reveals that ka Ming consumes a diet that is a mixture of American foods and traditional Chinese foods. He likes a big breakfast but must bring a bag lunch to work. Dinner is often Chinese-style food that he cooks himself at home or buys from a family-owned Chinese-American restaurant near his home. His diet contains approximately 40% of its energy from fat and 15% of this is from saturated fat. It contains about 350 mg of cholesterol a day. Below is a list of foods that Ka Ming routinely consumes. Which choices are low in fat and what modifications, selection suggestions, or cooking tips would decrease his intake of total fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol?
Breakfast foods Scrambled eggs Pancakes Cheese omelet Sausages
Lunch foods Ham and cheese sandwich Peanut butter and jelly sandwich Tuna salad sandwich Potato chips
Dinner foods Crispy fried beef over white rice Sweet and sour pork over white rice Chicken and broccoli stir-fry over white rice Pork fried rice Egg rolls

SCENARIO OF LIPID 2
Jane has decided to start eating a low fat diet. She has mentioned to you that all she needs to do is add less butter, oil, or margarine to her foods and she will dramatically lower her fat intake. How can you explain to Jane that she needs to be aware of the “hidden” fats in her diet as well?
