Question

which behavior is most likely to lead to the development of a chronic disease?
○ enjoying a slice of cake once a month
○ consuming foods with added sugars daily
○ making a poor eating choice during a special occasion
○ eating a high - calorie food one time during the year

Explanation:

Chronic diseases are often associated with long - term, repeated unhealthy behaviors. Consuming foods with added sugars daily is a repeated behavior that can lead to issues like obesity, diabetes (due to high sugar intake over time affecting blood sugar regulation and metabolism).

• Eating a high - calorie food one time during the year is an isolated incident and not likely to cause a chronic disease.
• Making a poor eating choice during a special occasion is also an infrequent event.
• Enjoying a slice of cake once a month is a relatively low - frequency behavior compared to daily consumption of sugary foods.

Answer:

consuming foods with added sugars daily
