A basic premise of the Dietary Guidelines is that nutrient needs should be met primarily through consuming foods. Foods provide an array of nutrients and other compounds that may have beneficial effects on health. In certain cases, fortified foods and dietary supplements may be useful sources of one or more nutrients that otherwise might be consumed in less than recommended amounts. However, dietary supplements, while recommended in some cases, cannot replace a healthful diet. Two examples of eating patterns that exemplify the Dietary Guidelines are the USDA Food Guide (http:// ) and the DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) Eating. | ACCESS TO HEALTH SERVICES FOR ELDERLY MÉTIS WOMEN IN BUFFALO NARROWS SASKATCHEWAN Brigette Krieg Diane J.
