Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

The diet has been linked to many health conditions. Health claims link specific conditions to a nutrient and list them on the label. This allows the consumer to make more appropriate food choices. Examples include calcium and osteoporosis; sodium and hypertension; low saturated fat and cholesterol and high in fiber and coronary heart disease; low fat and high in fiber, antioxidants, and vitamins A and C and cancer; folic acid and neural tube defects; soy and cardiac disease. The food must also be a naturally good source (10 daily value) of at least one of the following nutrients: vitamins A and C, iron, calcium, or fiber. It also must have less than 20 of the daily value for total fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, and sodium.
