Supports immunity and digestive health<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Explanation:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A <strong>structure-function claim<\/strong> describes how a nutrient or dietary ingredient affects the structure or function of the body. It focuses on how the ingredient might influence the body&#8217;s normal functions or physiological processes without claiming to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any specific disease. Structure-function claims are permitted by the FDA but must be truthful and not misleading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this case, the claim <strong>&#8220;Supports immunity and digestive health&#8221;<\/strong> is a typical example of a structure-function claim because it refers to the general support of bodily functions\u2014immunity and digestion\u2014without making any direct claim to prevent or cure a disease. It suggests that the product may help in maintaining normal body functions related to immunity and digestion but doesn&#8217;t make an explicit link to specific illnesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Analysis of the other options:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>a. Fat-free<\/strong>: This is a <strong>nutrient content claim<\/strong>, not a structure-function claim. It describes the presence or absence of a specific nutrient (in this case, fat) in the product.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>b. Less sodium<\/strong>: This is also a <strong>nutrient content claim<\/strong>. It provides information about the amount of sodium in the product, indicating that it contains less sodium compared to other foods, but does not explain how it affects the body\u2019s function.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>d. A diet low in total fat may reduce the risk of some cancers<\/strong>: This is a <strong>health claim<\/strong>, not a structure-function claim. Health claims describe the relationship between a nutrient or dietary ingredient and the risk of a disease or health-related condition, which is more specific than a structure-function claim. Here, it links the consumption of a low-fat diet to a reduced risk of cancer, suggesting a disease risk reduction, which is outside the scope of structure-function claims.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, <strong>&#8220;Supports immunity and digestive health&#8221;<\/strong> is the only example that fits the definition of a structure-function claim.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Which of the following is a structure-function claim? a.
