Manufactured food products that contain added sugar are the leading cause for high blood pressure in obese people. So, in the interest of obese people, food manufacturers have come up with a line of obesity-friendly products that contain stevia instead of sugar. Therefore, obese people who frequently avoided manufactured foods can now safely indulge themselves in them without worrying about the negative consequences to their health since____________.
Which of the following most logically completes the argument?
A. naturally occurring sugar is usually safe to consume in certain regulated quantities.
B. manufacturers adhere strictly to all Food & Drug Administration’s regulations regarding the use of harmful additives and preservatives in their manufactured products containing stevia.
C. apart from improving glucose tolerance, stevia can also lower blood pressure.
D. the effects of obesity and its associated problems far outweigh the potential side-effects of consuming stevia.
E. excessive sugar consumption is known to be a leading cause of obesity and related diseases.

Dear Lucky 1994
Good day.
I hope you're doing well.
The clue lies in the argument's sentence 'Therefore, obese people who frequently avoided manufactured foods can now safely indulge themselves in them without worrying about the negative consequences to their health'.
Option C: apart from improving glucose tolerance, stevia can also lower blood pressure.
+1 for for improving consumer base, but?
What if adding Stevia also requires adding certain extra additives, which are required to maintain the products' final taste and texture?
Or, what if adding Stevia reduces the shelf life of the final product , which needs extra chemical preservatives to boost the final product's shelf life?
Now, compare option C with option B.
Option B is an extension to the information in the passage: It combines the positives of Stevia with some extra information that negates the presence of anything extra in the product that could hamper the health.
