Clues

  • ACE vitamins. Form a defence system against free radicals reducing serious damage to cells -preventing heart disease/cancers. Help to maintain a healthy immune system. (11, 8)
  • Combines with calcium to make calcium phosphate- for formation, development and maintenance of bones and teeth. Required for the release of energy from body cells. (10)
  • Naturally occuring - Form part of the cell structure of plants (fruits) (8, 6)
  • Polyunsaturated fats artificially hardened by hydrogenation - extra hydrogen added to improve texture/flavour. Cause increased risk of heart disease/cancers as LDL is increased and HDL is decreased. (5, 5, 5)
  • Prevention of neural tube defects such as spina bifida in unborn babies. Formation of red blood cells. Essential for normal growth (5, 4, 6)
  • Raise blood cholesterol levels increasing the risk of heart disease. The LDL (low density lipoprotein - bad) sticks to artery walls, increasing the risk of blood clots and blockage of the artery. (9, 4)
  • Remain liquid at both room temperature and cold temperatures. Help to bring down blood cholesterol levels.There are specific polyunsaturates which are vital for health and cannot be made in the body. (15, 4)
  • Single-unit carbohydrates or simple sugars. Glucose, Fructose & Galactose (15)
  • Starches or complex carbohydrates. Starches & NSP. (15)
