Answer & Explanation:Macro Nutrient Disease Part 1: Select an inborn error in metabolism which causes a disease that negatively affects a macro-nutrient. Fat, sugar or protein is either malabsorption or incorrectly stored or metabolized. There are many of them listed in the chapters for those macros. (Do not do diabetes please-select something more obscure or rare, also do not pick atherosclerosis or marasmus and kwashiorkor) Write a 1-2-page, single spaced article about the disease and what causes it. Include 2 minimum scientific peer-reviewed references-your book is not one of the 2 references but could be reference # 3. Check out the references at the end of the chapters for that disease.

Put it in a language you feel they will understand and use examples to help clarify. 1-2 pages, single spaced. Part 2 is worth 80 points. Part 3: For part 3, write a recommendation of changes to the patient’s diet in a language the patient understands.1 page single spaced.
