Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Large doses of niacin in the form of nicotinic acid (16 g/day) are used therapeutically to lower total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol and raise HDL cholesterol.

Answer to Question 2

C
Foods high in dietary fiber, such as fruits and vegetables, can help relieve constipation by in-creasing fecal bulk. Vomiting is usually a response to a viral or toxic substance and is not relieved by specific foods. Fruits and vegetables may exacerbate diarrhea and are not directly related to osteoporosis.
