Answer to Question 1

B
Omega-3 fatty acids help decrease risk of heart disease by preventing formation of clots that may block arteries that are narrowed by atherosclerotic plaques. Omega-3 fatty acids do not decrease blood pressure or serum levels of triglyceride and cholesterol.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Fluoride promotes the mineralization of developing tooth enamel prior to both eruption and the remineralization of surface enamel in erupted teeth. Studies show that water fluoridation reduces tooth decay by approximately 25 over a person's lifetime. Bottled water may not be fluoridated.
