Answer:

The inclusion of plant sterols in the food is an effective strategy for lowering total and LDL cholesterol.

Explanation:

  Plant sterols, or phytosterols, are structurally similar to cholesterol, but unlike cholesterol, they are only naturally present in products of plant origin such as fruits, vegetables, legumes, oilseeds, seeds, vegetable oils and whole grains. Since their content in these foods is low, the industry now chooses to fortify foods in significant amounts of plant sterols and in a wider range of products such as vegetable creams, milks, yoghurts, cheeses, soy drinks and sauces. Plant sterols, as their regular consumption, is associated with lowering total cholesterol and LDL (so-called "bad cholesterol"). Given the high prevalence of individuals with high LDL and total cholesterol in society today, and due this is a risk factor for cardiovascular health, plant sterols are a very important to health. Also, plant sterols have been linked to other benefits to the body, such as protection against certain cancers and decreased inflammatory status.

Which of these is not part of a pre-driving check?
Dimas [21]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

All of these make sense except for C. Why would you need to check inside the hood each time you drive? Checking outside the vehicle will make sure everything is intact and working. Checking inside the vehicle makes sure nobody has broken into your car. And checking the vehicle as you approach it helps you process your surroundings and make sure you're safe to proceed with driving.

Burka [1]

Answer:

The baby has a negative blood type.

Explanation:

A Cesarean section would be done most of the time when the unborn baby is in danger such as when the baby can't get enough oxygen or no oxygen at all or other circumstances. The baby gets its blood type from its mother and father but if it's negative it doesn't mean the child can possibly DIE... This option is the selected option. The rest of the options show when and why the woman might need to do a Cesarean section.
