Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Polyols (e.g., sorbitol, mannitol, and xylitol) are natural sweeteners derived from monosaccharides. Some people experience a laxative effect (abdominal gas, discomfort, or osmotic diarrhea) after consuming polyols. Nausea and constipation are not caused by large intakes of sugar alcohols. Sugar alternatives do not increase serum glucose levels.

Answer to Question 2

D
Coronary artery disease, hypertension, and diabetes are all more common in individuals who consume high-fat, high-sodium diets. Risk of genetic disorders, sickle cell anemia, and viral in-fections is not affected by dietary fat and sodium intakes.
