Which of the following statements does NOT describe the Dietary Guidelines?
A. Guidelines promote healthy eating habits.
B. Guidelines make allowances for dietary restrictions.
C. Guidelines are based on science.
D. Guidelines reduce the risk of major chronic diseases.
Answer (2)
The Dietary Guidelines aim to promote healthy eating, consider dietary restrictions, and are based on scientific evidence. Among the provided statements, only statement D, which implies a direct risk reduction from the guidelines alone, is misleading. Therefore, D is the statement that does NOT accurately describe the Dietary Guidelines. ;
The statement that does NOT accurately describe the Dietary Guidelines is D, which suggests that they directly reduce the risk of major chronic diseases. While the guidelines provide recommendations that can help support healthy eating and lifestyle choices, they do not guarantee risk reduction on their own. The other statements accurately reflect the purpose and foundation of the Dietary Guidelines.
