PrepTest 152 - Section 4 - Question 7

Show summary

Nutritionist: Contrary to popular belief, a high-calcium diet does not prevent osteoporosis (decrease in bone density). ███████ █ ███████████ ████ ████ ██ █████████ ██ ██████ ███ ██████████ ███ █ ███████ ████████ ██ ████ ███ █████ ████████ ██ █████████ ███ ███ ██████████ ██ ███ ██████████ ██████████████ █████████ ████ ██ ███████ ██ ████████ ███████ ██ ████ ██████████ █████ █████ ███████ ████ ████ █████████ ███████ ███████████

Summarize Argument

The nutritionist claims—with no support—that a high-calcium diet doesn’t prevent osteoporosis but a low-protein, low-meat, low-dairy, high-fruit-and-vegetable diet is essential for preventing it. She also claims that weight-bearing exercise is essential for the prevention of osteoporosis, and cites support: regular resistance causes bones to thicken.

Notable Assumptions

The nutritionist assumes weight-bearing exercise provides regular resistance not provided by non-weight-bearing exercise. Every incorrect answer will strengthen that assumption or offer support for her other claims—that a high-calcium diet doesn’t prevent osteoporosis, and that a low-protein, low-meat, low-dairy, high-fruit-and-vegetable diet is essential for preventing osteoporosis.
