Which of the following most logically completes the argument given below?
Tribes that live in desert communities tend to live on a largely meaty diet, and they eat very less vegetables. Few of them suffer from high blood sugar, and their blood sugar does not tend to increase with age, as is common in cities present in non-desert countries. These people though, develop high blood sugar when they move to cities. Though suggestive, these facts do not establish vegetables as the culprit in high blood sugar, however, because.......
A. genetic factors could account for the lack of increase of blood sugar with age among such people
B. there are changes in other aspects of diet when such people move to the city
C. it is possible to have a meaty diet while living in a city
D. people eating vegetable rich diets and living from birth in cities in non-desert societies generally have a tendency to have high blood sugar
E. vegetables are necessary to maintain a healthy and balanced diet

Hello, jim441. If you want to understand the question, I would suggest you check out the official one from which the above question was so clearly copied. (Tinkering with a few words here and there and shuffling a couple answer choices around does not generate a new and legitimate question.) For reference, the other question and answer choices:Quote:
Which of the following most logically completes the argument given?
People in isolated rain-forest communities tend to live on a largely vegetarian diet, and they eat little salt. Few of them suffer from high blood pressure, and their blood pressure does not tend to increase with age, as is common in industrialized countries. Such people often do develop high blood pressure when they move to cities and adopt high-salt diets. Though suggestive, these facts do not establish salt as the culprit in high blood pressure, however, because ________.
(A) genetic factors could account for the lack of increase of blood pressure with age among such people
(B) people eating high-salt diets and living from birth in cities in industrialized societies generally have a tendency to have high blood pressure
(C) it is possible to have a low-salt diet while living in a city in an industrialized country
(D) there are changes in other aspects of diet when such people move to the city
(E) salt is a necessity for human life, and death can occur when the body loses too much salt
If you comb through the other thread and still have concerns, feel free to ask in that thread. And I guess if you want some kudos, you can plagiarize an explanation someone has provided to the other question and post their thoughts in this thread, with a few words changed, of course. It would only be fitting.People in isolated rain-forest communities tend to live on a largely vegetarian diet, and they eat little salt.
