#TFQOD #MBA #CAT2014 Check out our last years CAT Question Of the Day Answer the question based on the passage given below. Drinking one or more cans of sugary soft drinks a day is linked to an increased risk of diabetes in later life, a study suggests. A can a day raises the relative risk of diabetes by about a fifth, compared with one can a month or under, say European scientists. The report in the journal Diabetologia mirrors previous US findings and recommends limiting sugary foods and drinks as they are calorific and can cause weight gain. The latest research was carried out in the UK, Germany, Denmark, Italy, Spain, Sweden, France and the Netherlands. Some 350,000 individuals were questioned about their diet, as part of a large European study looking at links between diet and diabetes. In the light of the above, which of the following best strengthens the link between consumption of sugary soft drinks and diabetes? OPTIONS 1) Most of the diabetics were found to have consumed large amounts of soft drinks in their youth. 2) There is an increased risk of diabetes linked to drinking artificially sweetened soft drinks, but this disappeared when body mass index was taken into account. 3) There is definitive evidence that sugar-sweetened soft drinks increase the risk of diabetes, through their effect on body weight. 4) Maintaining healthy weight is the single most important thing you can do to prevent diabetes.
