Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale: Fiber moves through the GI tract slowly, reducing the rate of sugar absorption, which is one of the reasons it is beneficial. Fiber is, therefore, a slow form of energy. Sugar contributes to weight gain only if consumed in excess; small amounts are acceptable for any diet. High fructose corn syrup is found in many foods besides soft drinks.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Research has shown that eating whole real foods rather than individual nutrients was beneficial in lowering blood pressure. It is likely that several aspects of the diet and not just one nutrient or food lowered the blood pressure.
