Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Foods rich in calcium include milk, dairy products, and green, leafy vegetables.

Estrogen increases the amount of high-density lipoproteins that carry cholesterol from body cells to the liver for excretion. With lowered levels of estrogen, low-density lipoproteins increase, causing an increase in the incidence of heart attacks and strokes.
