Question

question:
which of the following is true about consuming excess protein?

answer options:
select one of three
it leads to kidney disease.
it can be harmful to those with kidney disease.
it prevents kidney disease.

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• "It leads to kidney disease": Excess protein doesn't directly cause kidney disease in healthy individuals, so this is incorrect.
• "It can be harmful to those with kidney disease": For people with kidney disease, the kidneys have reduced function. Processing excess protein adds more workload, which can worsen their condition, so this is true.
• "It prevents kidney disease": There's no evidence that excess protein prevents kidney disease; in fact, it can be harmful to those with existing kidney issues, so this is incorrect.

Answer:

B. It can be harmful to those with kidney disease.
