Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The primary benefits of a vegetarian diet indeed include lower intakes of fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, and animal protein (A), as well as higher levels of phytochemicals, fiber, complex carbohydrates, antioxidants, carotenoids, and folate (B). However, while lower intakes of antibiotics, pesticides, and animal hormones (C) can be a benefit of consuming organically produced plant-based foods, it is not exclusive to a vegetarian diet and depends more on the source of the food rather than the diet type itself. Similarly, higher levels of fiber and certain nutrients are benefits of a vegetarian diet, but the mention of chlorophyll and nutrients from the soil (D) is not directly related to the health benefits attributed to vegetarian diets in scientific literature. Therefore, E (answers C and D) is correct because these options are less directly related to the primary health benefits associated with vegetarian diets.
