Answer to Question 1

C
Switching from cornflakes to oatmeal for breakfast is likely to have a significant effect on re-ducing risk of coronary heart disease because this change will increase intake of soluble fiber. Snacking on tortilla chips instead of peanuts would increase intake of polyunsaturated fat and decrease intake of monounsaturated fat, which would probably not affect LDL cholesterol levels and may decrease HDL cholesterol levels. Drinking decaffeinated coffee instead of regular cof-fee is not beneficial for most people. Choosing a fast-food fish sandwich instead of a hamburger could result in increased total fat intake because the fish is fried; intake of saturated and unsatu-rated fats will depend on the fat used for frying and any sauces added.

Answer to Question 2

B
Most people experience reductions in LDL cholesterol if they limit dietary cholesterol intake to less than 200 mg/day.
