which evidence best supports this counterclaim?
to be healthier, people should avoid sodas and snacks
made with sugar.
a. studies show that students reach for sugary snacks when theyre
tired.
b. a trip to the grocery store shows that sugary snacks often cost
more money than healthful foods.
c. dentists cite a sugary diet as one of the primary causes of tooth
decay.
d. vegetables and fruit smoothies can taste as good as sugary
snacks.

Explanation:

• Option A only mentions students reaching for sugary snacks when tired, which doesn't directly support avoiding sugar for health.
• Option B talks about cost, not health.
• Option C, since dentists cite a sugary diet as a primary cause of tooth decay (a health - related issue), it directly supports the idea that people should avoid sugar - made sodas and snacks for health.
• Option D compares the taste of healthy and sugary items, not health.

Answer:

C. Dentists cite a sugary diet as one of the primary causes of tooth decay.
