Question

consider this claim: there is truth to the idea that \an apple a day\ keeps you healthy. which piece of evidence better supports this claim? evidence a: two - thirds of the active senior citizens interviewed at northbay senior center believed that a daily apple is essential for digestive health. evidence b: an extensive study of nearly four thousand women found that women who ate at least one apple daily reduced their risk of heart disease by thirteen to twenty - two percent.

Explanation:

Evidence B is from a larger - scale and more comprehensive study (nearly four thousand women) on a significant health - related outcome (reduction in heart disease risk). Evidence A is based on the beliefs of a partial group (two - thirds of active senior citizens at one senior center) regarding a more limited aspect (digestive health). A larger and more scientific study provides stronger support.

Answer:

Evidence B
