Research has shown the following relationship between carbohydrate in the diet and body weight:
a. people with higher carbohydrate intakes have higher body weights.
b. added sugars provide many of the excess calories that cause weight gain among U.S. adults.
c. as people in other countries adopt Western style diets, they lose weight.
d. excess calories from fructose cause greater weight gain than those from other nutrients.
e. added sugar intake is most strongly linked with body weight in people with type 2 diabetes.
Question 2
Sugar has been implicated by many people in some major health problems. One effect of sugar on health that has been shown scientifically is that:
a. sugar consumed in large amounts leads to obesity, even when calorie intake does not exceed calorie needs.
b. eating large amounts of pure sugar puts a strain on the pancreas, leading to diabetes.
c. fructose suppresses the human appetite in the same way that glucose does.
d. consumption of two fructose- or sucrose-sweetened soft drinks per day for a few weeks results in significant changes in blood lipids.
e. the link between sugar intake and diabetes is weaker when total calorie intakes exceed the daily need.
