Quiz: Star Nutrients
Test your nutrition know-how of seven of the most popular nutrients with our interactive quiz.

In the past few years, nutritional researchers have become almost unanimous in their call to eat a range of plant-based foods to ensure we profit from the health benefits such foods offer. And increasingly, scientists favor whole foods over high-dose dietary supplements that isolate a specific nutrient. Current research finds that antioxidants in food almost always trump the benefits of those in pill form. That's because we are still learning about all the beneficial nutrients and how they work in sync with each other in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and beans and legumes.

Take the quiz to learn more about seven star nutrients and how to reap their health benefits.
