<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Phytosterols

Cholesterol or LDL

Sterol and stanol esters, also go by the name<u> phytosterols</u> and help lower <u>blood cholesterol level or LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol)</u>.

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <u>Phytosterols also known as plant sterol and stanol esters are naturally occuring compounds found in plant cell membranes. </u>
  • <em><u>When consumed, phytosterols, compete with cholesterol for absorption in the digestive system since they are structurally similar to cholesterol. This will result in the blocking of cholesterol absorption thus reducing the amount of cholesterol in blood.</u></em>
  • Phytosterols have been found to lower total cholesterol and LDL or bad cholesterol in the blood. They are so effective and it is recommended for people with high cholesterol to consume 2 grams of phytosterols per day.

A medical researcher is exploring treatments for a rare disease. Since the disease is not common, she has only been able to loca
a_sh-v [17]
Let's go through each of our options.

For A, the rarity of something has no effect on its validity.

For B, the study wouldn't be more valid, as you should only be testing one variable at a time (in the case, the medicine).

For C, nothing in your experiments should ever be random. And if I'm correctly interpreting it, the question means that even patients who aren't sick would be receiving the treatment, which serves no purpose at all.

Therefore, we know that D must be the correct answer, via process of elimination. Smaller sample sizes are not ideal for experiments, as they require a great deal of extrapolation to see more specific results on a larger scale.
