sends it to the small intestine only when food
passes through.

Food for Thought
• Nutrition information on a package label can help
you make healthy food choices.
• The number of servings, calories, proteins,
carbohydrates, fats, and nutrients and their daily
recommended amounts are listed on the label.
• Calories are a way to measure how much energy
your body will get from food.
