    What if someone was doing a nutritional study and they had to find out the impact of soft drink consumption on overall health? They may or may not be a person who drinks soft drinks, but they're still concerned about this issue and would probably be on the side of displaying caffeine on labels. Hope this helps.

    The stimuli is not discussing people who drink caffeinated beverages, that is just an assumption we make when reading this passage. It says that listing caffeine content makes it easier to limit ones caffeine intake which, in turn, improves health. We assume, most naturally, that listing caffeine content improves health by reducing the intake of caffeinated beverages in at least some people. Yet that need not be the case. What if listing caffeine content resulted in the chemical release of neurotoxins in the people who read the label and that neurotoxin made it easier to limit but not eliminate caffeine? Well then, if the stimuli is true, they would get healthier. We don't know if thats how it happens because they don't say, but A would still be the right choice. All that matter here is that X leads to Y leads to Z and so X leads to Z. How it happens is irrelevant.
