Question

For beer drinkers, a new study that suggests beer is a signifcant source of a mineral key to maintaining bone density may sound too good to be true.
That may well be, say health experts who overwhelmingly agree the connection may be more wishful thinking than solid science.
But that may not stop many brew lovers from viewing the new research as an excuse to order another round. The study of 100 commercial beers in the February issue of the Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture by Charles Bamforth and Troy Casey of the University of California Davis examined the silicon content that results from diferent ingredients and brewing processes.
"Silicon impacts bone mineral density in humans, and supplementing silicon in the diets of 'osteoporitic' women increased bone mineral density," the authors wrote. Thus, they surmise, silicon-rich beer may also help to strengthen bones.
Although a press release issued with the study prominently mentioned the link between silicon and bone health, the study itself did not look at bone mineral density or analyze any patient data, according to several researchers contacted
by MedPage Today and ABC News.
Also, bananas and some grains have high levels of silicon, but for many, beer appears to be the richest source.
The authors wrote that they explored the silicon content in beer because the popular beverage has been identifed as one of the richest potential sources of dietary silicon in the Western diet.
In the study, the authors concluded that "beer is a substantial source of silicon in the diet" and that "beers containing high levels of malted barley and hops are richest in silicon," but they did not attempt to establish a link between beer
drinking and bone health.
Experts contacted for comment on the study also cautioned the public against establishing any such connection.
"To conclude any bone health benefts from this study would require a great leap," said Dr. Tim Byers, deputy director of the University of Colorado Cancer Center in Aurora.

Choose the WRONG alternative:

A - Beer is a source of silicon.
B - Health experts are enthusiastic about the results.
C - Diferent beers have been studied.
D - The study itself did not analyze bone density.
E - Beer drinkers may be happy about the results.

Answer 1

Resposta:

Acredito que é a alternativa B.

Espero ter ajudado. :)

Answer 2

O texto discursa sobre um estudo feito que sugere que a cerveja pode auxiliar na manutenção da saúde dos ossos. A única alternativa que está incorreta é a letra B: Health experts are enthusiastic about the results. Os experts estão cautelosos quanto aos resultados e não estabelecem uma relação causa-efeito entre a cerveja e o fortalecimento dos ossos.
