893. Ramón pointed out that food high in whole-grain fiber creates the energy we need to fight illnesses—as do vegetables and lean proteins.
Meaning:
Ramón pointed out - Subject Ramon; Verb Pointed out. So, Ramon pointed out something. Let’s read further
that food high in whole-grain fiber creates - “that” is a connector here. “Food” is subject and “creates” is verb in the “that” clause . Both agree to SV pair as both are singular.
the energy we need to fight illnesses: meaning here is clear, food creates energy we need to fight illnesses.
—as do vegetables and lean proteins : this seems like a direct comparison. Seems alright.
Read as below:
Ramón pointed out that food high in whole-grain fiber - as do vegetables and lean proteins.
- creates the energy we need to fight illnesses
Error:
(A) fiber creates the energy we need to fight illnesses—as do vegetables and lean proteins
Correct
(B) fiber in addition to vegetables and lean proteins, create the energy we need to fight illnesses
SV error, create verb doesn’t agree with singular food
(C) fiber creates the energy we need to fight illnesses, along with vegetables and lean proteins
Changes the intended meaning. Seems to suggest that food + vegetables and lean proteins help to create energy. That’s not the intended meaning
(D) fiber, vegetables, and lean proteins creates the energy we need to fight illnesses
SV error, creates is singular and list is plural
(E) fiber, as vegetables and lean proteins, create the energy we need to fight illnesses
SV error, create verb doesn’t agree with singular food

Hi INSEADIESE,
We can think of that as additional information. A dash is stronger though, so it seems as if the author wants to emphasize that portion of the sentence.
... food... creates the energy we need to fight illnesses (as do vegetables and lean proteins). ← This could be another way to say the same thing.
... food... creates the energy we need to fight illnesses—as do vegetables and lean proteins. ← This one is stronger.
