  - question: 'What is the first-line drug for patients with type 2 diabetes and obesity,
      as of 2020?

      (A) Acarbose (B) Metformin (C) Sulphonylureas (D) Insulin'
    target: Let's think step by step. We refer to Wikipedia articles on nutrition
      for help. Metformin (Fortamet, Glumetza, or others) is usually the first medication
      prescribed for type 2 diabetes, as well as obesity. It works by lowering glucose
      production in the liver and improving the body's sensitivity to insulin. The
      answer is (B).
  - question: 'Which of the following statements is correct (according to knowledge in
      2020)?

      (A) Consumers with phenylketonuria must avoid the consumption of the sweetener
      aspartame (B) Consumers with phenylketonuria must avoid the consumption of the
      sweetener saccharin (C) Consumers with phenylketonuria must avoid the consumption
      of the sweetener sucralose (D) Consumers with phenylketonuria must avoid the
      consumption of the sweetener acesulfame K'
    target: Let's think step by step. We refer to Wikipedia articles on nutrition
      for help. People with phenylketonuria (PKU) cannot break down the amino acid
      phenylalanine. As it builds up in the blood and brain it can lead to brain damage.
      People with PKU should avoid foods that are converted to phenylalanine in the
      body, such as aspartame. The answer is (A).
  - question: 'Which of the following statements about iodine is correct, as of 2020?

      (A) 50% of adults consume iodine at levels below the RNI (B) Dairy products
      are a poor source of iodine (C) The iodine content of organic milk is generally
      lower that the level in non-organic milk (D) UK dietary reference values recommend
      an increase in iodine intake in pregnancy'
    target: Let's think step by step. We refer to Wikipedia articles on nutrition
      for help. Organic milk usually has less iodine content than non-organic milk.
      The answer is (C).
  - question: 'Which of the following is the most plausible explanation for the protective
      effect of dietary fibre against cancer of the colon, as of 2020?

      (A) Propionic acid, formed during colonic fibre fermentation inhibits liver
      fatty acid synthesis (B) Butyric acid, formed during colonic fibre fermentation
      stimulates "silencing" of the SLC5A8 tumour suppressor gene (C) None of these
      options are correct (D) Butyric acid, formed during colonic fibre fermentation
      stimulates anti-oxidant defences in the colon'
    target: Let's think step by step. We refer to Wikipedia articles on nutrition
      for help. Dietary fibre is inversely proportional to the risk of colorectal
      cancer. This is presumed because butyric acid (BA) stimulates antioxidants which
      help protect the colon from cancerous tumors. The answer is (D).
  - question: 'In a cohort study, the risk ratio of developing diabetes was 0.86 when
      comparing consumers of tea (the exposed) to those who did not drink tea (the
      unexposed). Which one statement is correct (according to knowledge in 2020)?

      (A) The tea drinkers have lower risk of developing diabetes. (B) The tea drinkers
      have higher risk of developing diabetes. (C) Based on the information given
      we cannot tell if the observed difference in disease risk is the result of chance.
      (D) The risk ratio is close to the value one, so there is no difference in disease
      risk between the two groups.'
    target: 'Let''s think step by step. We refer to Wikipedia articles on nutrition
      for help. The risk ratio is not sufficiently reduced that it could not be explained
      by random chance given the studies sample size. The answer is (C).'
