Question

question 17 which of the following is true about eating too many carbohydrates?

• it can lead to overall increase in calories and weight gain.
• it can lead to constipation and brain fog:
• it can lead to type 1 diabetes.
• it can lead to ketosis.

Explanation:

• For the option "It can lead to overall increase in calories and weight gain": Carbohydrates provide calories. Consuming too many (exceeding energy needs) means excess calories, which the body stores as fat, leading to weight gain. This is consistent with energy balance principles.
• For "It can lead to constipation and brain fog": A lack of fiber (not just excess carbs) or other factors cause constipation; brain fog from excess carbs is not a typical direct result.
• For "It can lead to Type 1 diabetes": Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune condition, not caused by diet (including excess carbs).
• For "It can lead to ketosis": Ketosis occurs with very low carb intake (like in a ketogenic diet), not excess carbs.

Answer:

A. It can lead to overall increase in calories and weight gain.
