Explanation:

• For the first statement "While fat reduction can aid in a healthy diet, cutting fats altogether can actually increase the chances of certain diseases", it directly contradicts the myth "Diets should be fat - free" (Myth B).
• The second statement "To produce a flavorful food, food manufacturers often replace what they remove in fat with high amounts of sodium and sugar" shows that low - fat doesn't always mean healthy, which goes against the myth "Low - fat diet foods are always healthier" (Myth C).
• The third statement "Cutting too many calories from the diet runs the risk of starving the body of the energy it needs" is a refutation of the myth "Severely reducing caloric intake is the best way to lose weight" (Myth A).
• The fourth statement "We should increase our intake of unsaturated fats and decrease our intake of saturated fats" is a general healthy diet principle and not directly related to the given myths.
• The fifth statement "A healthy diet means reducing and moderating the intake of unhealthy food" is about diet moderation and not directly related to the given myths.
• The sixth statement "While fatty and sugary foods should not make up the majority of any healthy diet, no single diet is perfect for everyone" is a general diet concept and not directly related to the given myths.
• The seventh statement "To burn calories, the body must receive the energy needed to engage in fitness activities" is about energy for activity and not directly related to the given myths.
