PrepTest 29, Section 2, Question 8
Nutritionist: Many people claim that simple carbohydrates are a reasonable caloric replacement for the fatty foods forbidden to those on low-fat diets. This is now in doubt. New studies show that, for many people, a high intake of simple carbohydrates stimulates an overproduction of insulin, a hormone that is involved in processing sugars and starches to create energy when the body requires energy, or, when energy is not required, to store the resulting by-products as fat.

Which one of the following is most strongly supported by the nutritionist's statements?
People on low-fat diets should avoid consumption of simple carbohydrates if they wish to maintain the energy that their bodies require.
People who produce enough insulin to process their intake of simple carbohydrates should not feel compelled to adopt low-fat diets.
People who consume simple carbohydrates should limit their intake of foods high in fat.
People who wish to avoid gaining body fat should limit their intake of foods high in simple carbohydrates.
People who do not produce an excessive amount of insulin when they consume foods high in simple carbohydrates will not lose weight if they restrict only their intake of these foods.
