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 (e.g., diabetes, heart disease) often result from long - term, repeated unhealthy behaviors. Occasional poor eating choices (like enjoying cake monthly, a poor choice on a special occasion, or a high - calorie food once a year) are less likely to cause chronic diseases. But daily consumption of foods with added sugars can lead to consistent spikes in blood sugar, weight gain, and other long - term health issues that contribute to chronic diseases.

Answer:

B. consuming foods with added sugars daily
