Read the following passage and mark the letter A,B,C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions from 64 to 73
Although they are an inexpensive supplier of vitamins, minerals, and high quality protein, eggs also contain a high level of blood cholesterol, one of the major causes of heart disease One egg yolk, in fact, contains a little more than two-thirds of the suggested daily cholesterol limit This knowledge has caused egg sales to plummet in recent years, which in turns has brought about the development of several alternatives to eating regular eggs One alternative is to eat substitute eggs
These egg substitutes are not really eggs, but they look somewhat like eggs when they are cooked They have the advantage of having lower cholesterol rates, and they can be scrambled or used in baking One disadvatage, however, is that they are not good for frying, poaching, or boiling A second alternative to regular eggs is a new type of egg, sometimes called “designer” eggs These eggs are produced by hens that are fed low-fat diets consisting of ingredients such as canola oil, flax, and rice bran In spite of their diets, however, these hens produce eggs that contain the same amount of cholesterol as regular eggs Yet, the producers of these eggs claim that eating their eggs will not raise the blood cholesterol in humans
Eggs producers claim that their product has been portrayed unfairly They cite scientific studies to back up their claim And, in fact, studies on the relationship between eggs and human cholesterol levels have brought mixed results It may be that it is not the type of egg that is the main determinant of cholesterol but the person who is eating the eggs Some people may be more sensitive to cholesterol derived from food than other people In fact, there is evidence that certain dietary fats stimulate the body’s production of blood cholesterol Consequently, while it still makes sense to limit one’s intake of eggs, even designer eggs, it seems that doing this without regulating 30 dietary fat will probably not help reduce the blood cholesterol level
Question 64: What is the main purpose of this passage?
A to introduce the idea that dietary fat increases the blood cholesterol level B to inform people about the relationship between eggs and cholesterol C to persuade people that eggs are unhealthy and should not be eaten D to convince people to eat “designer” eggs and egg substitutes
