Answer to Question 1

2

Rationale: Some evidence exists that suggests that cranberry juice may help to prevent UTIs when consumed along with an adequate fluid intake and proper personal hygiene. Cranberry products and dried cranberries have not been shown to prevent UTIs. Eating yogurt and using probiotic dietary supplements are not proven to be beneficial in treating UTIs.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
The composition of a low-fat diet is 74 carbohydrate, 17 protein, and 9 fat. The meal of black beans, rice, tomatoes, salad, broccoli, oranges, and skim milk fits those guidelines the best.
