question 3
according to the article, why is it best to limit sugar intake?
a. sugar can make dopamine levels go down, which can lead
to making good decisions.

b. sugar can make dopamine levels go down, which may
change how a person feels.

c. sugar can make dopamine levels go up, which can make it
hard to stop eating sugar.

d. sugar can make dopamine levels go up, which makes it
easy to stop eating sugar.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: If sugar lowers dopamine, leading to good decisions, there's no reason to limit sugar, so A is incorrect.
• Option B: Lowering dopamine to change feelings doesn't directly explain why to limit sugar (no negative implication here), so B is incorrect.
• Option C: Sugar increasing dopamine (a neurotransmitter associated with reward) can create a craving, making it hard to stop eating sugar. This is a valid reason to limit intake, so C is correct.
• Option D: If increasing dopamine makes it easy to stop eating sugar, there's no need to limit, so D is incorrect.

Answer:

C. Sugar can make dopamine levels go up, which can make it hard to stop eating sugar.
