BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

In examining the relationship between carbohydrate in the diet and body weight, we should evaluate each statement for accuracy based on nutrition research.
Option 1: 'people with higher carbohydrate intakes have higher body weights.' This is an oversimplification. Weight is influenced by total energy balance, macronutrient distribution, and other lifestyle factors; higher carb intake alone does not automatically equate to higher body weight. The statement ignores total calories and the quality of carbohydrates (fiber vs. added sugars).
Option 2: 'added sugars provide many of the excess calories that cause weight gain among U.S. adults.' This aligns with evidence showing that added sugars contribute calories without providing substantial satiety or nutritional value, thereby increasing total daily energy intake and the potential for weight gain. It recognizes the role of caloric excess from added sugars in weight management.
Option 3: 'as people in other countries adopt “Western” style diets, they lose weight.' This contradicts common findings; Western-style diets are typically linked to weight gain or higher obesity risk, not weight loss, especially when caloric intake increases or physical activity declines.
Option 4: 'excess calories from fructose cause greater weight gain than those from other nutrients.' While high-fructose intake has been implicated in metabolic concerns, the notion that fructose uniquely causes more weight gain than other nutrients is not universally supported as a simple, universal rule; weight gain results from overall caloric excess and dietary patterns, not fructose alone.
Option 5: 'added sugar intake is most strongly linked with body weight in people with type 2 diabetes.' While added sugar can impact weight in individuals with type 2 diabetes, the statement that it is most strongly linked in this subgroup is not as widely supported as the broader claim about added sugars contributing to excess calories and weight gain in the general population.
Therefore, the statement that best reflects established nuance is Option 2, since it highlights that added sugars contribute a notable portion of excess calories driving weight gain in the general U.S. adult population.
