mal·nu·tri·tion defined by Merriam-Webster.com (SURPRISING)





mal·nu·tri·tion   Merriam-Webster Malnutrition Definition



: the unhealthy condition that results from not eating enough food or not eating enough healthy food : poor nutrition          

:  faulty nutrition due to inadequate or unbalanced intake of nutrients or their impaired assimilation or utilization

Condition resulting from inadequate diet or from inability to absorb or metabolize nutrients. Food intake may be insufficient to supply calories or protein (see kwashiorkor) or deficient in one or more essential vitamins or minerals. The latter case can lead to specific nutritional deficiency diseases (including beriberipellagrarickets, and scurvy). Metabolic defects, especially of the digestive system, liverkidneys, or red blood cells, prevent proper digestion, absorption, and metabolism of nutrients. See also nutrition.

By Definition, Most of us are malnourished because we are NOTgetting the 43 Essential Nutrients from the FOOD we eat.
