A nutritionist claims dietary cholesterol, not saturated fat, drives high blood cholesterol. Her evidence: people who switched from eating eggs daily to eating none saw their blood cholesterol fall. She concludes that limiting cholesterol-rich foods is the key to lowering blood cholesterol.

The answer to which of the following questions would be most useful in evaluating the nutritionist's conclusion?

  1. Did the people who stopped eating eggs also report eating fewer fried or processed snack foods?
  2. When the people stopped eating eggs, did they also reduce their intake of saturated fat?
  3. Does dietary cholesterol from eggs raise blood cholesterol more than cholesterol from meat?
  4. Do eggs contain more dietary cholesterol than most other commonly eaten foods do?
  5. Did the people who stopped eating eggs lose any measurable weight over the study?
