Complete Question Explanation
Resolve the Paradox. The correct answer choice is (B)
In the stimulus, the author tells us about the following paradox: Although high fat coconut oil has no cholesterol, consuming coconut oil-based creamers increases a person’s blood cholesterol more than consuming an equivalent amount of whole milk, which actually contains cholesterol.
Answer choice (A): This answer is incorrect. Nutritionists’ recommendations are irrelevant to an explanation about the body’s reaction to different substances.
Answer choice (B): This is the correct answer choice. If fat has a relatively stronger effect on a person’s blood cholesterol level than cholesterol in food, this explains how coconut oil can raise blood cholesterol more effectively than milk.
Answer choice (C): This answer does not resolve this paradox. Like the nutritionists’ recommendations from answer choice (A), consumer preferences are irrelevant to an explanation of the effects of coconut oil versus those of whole milk.
Answer choice (D): This answer doesn’t resolve our paradox either, especially since it doesn’t even deal with coconut oil coffee lighteners.
Answer choice (E): This answer doesn’t give us a solution to the apparent contradiction either, as this answer deals with general trends among dairy products, rather than making the relevant comparison between whole milk and coconut creamer.
