Answer to Question 1

C, D
Feedback:
Both ACS and AICR recommend to eat a variety of plant source foods and limit the intake of red meats. Only the AICR recommends not using supplements and only the ACS recommends whole-grain consumption.

Answer to Question 2

1, 5

Rationale: Caffeine and guarana are central nervous system stimulants that are used to improve athletic performance. These stimulants would produce these types of side effects. Siberian ginseng is not a stimulant. Siberian ginseng can decrease the body's ability to clot. Bee pollen is used to increase athletic stamina, but is not a stimulant. Chromium is used to increase carbohydrate metabolism. Chromium is not a stimulant.
