      "answer": "Anemia caused by iron deficiency can be prevented by including iron-rich foods in the diet. Foods like spinach, lentils, red meat, eggs, and fortified cereals are excellent sources of iron. Additionally, consuming Vitamin C-rich foods, such as citrus fruits, can enhance the absorption of iron from plant-based sources. To prevent anemia, maintain a balanced diet with sufficient iron intake and avoid skipping meals that contain essential nutrients."

    {
      "question": "Explain how you would test for fats in a food item, and why this test is important.",
      "answer": "To test for fats, take a small quantity of the food item, wrap it in a piece of paper, and crush it. After crushing, check the paper for an oily patch. If the paper has an oily translucent patch when held against light, the food item contains fats. This test is important because fats are essential for energy storage, insulation, and cell structure, but excessive consumption of fats can lead to obesity and other health problems. Testing for fats helps understand the nutritional content of food."
