Question

All of the following are correct about the typical American diet except that it is ?

A. High in sodium

B. Low in fiber

C. High in Calcium

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

I believe the answer is the last one. The average intake in 2010 was 1030 mg approximately and that, according to experts is not enough.  

The American diet is very high in sodium which is not good for your blood pressure. It was, some time ago, recommended that the average intake of Sodium should be about 2 grams. Two hamburgers will shoot that number to the moon, so now it is 4 grams. which if 2 grams was high, 4 grams is super high. Junk food prevails in America.

Fiber is true. It is low. The American Heart Association recommends 25 grams of Fiber a day. The average American takes in 15 which is only 60% of the recommended amount.

Answer 2

B. Low in fiber. This is incorrect. The correct answer would be HIGH in fiber, so therefore the answer is B.
