Numbers Game: Fiber Figures

A correlation study by Gross et al. published in the May 2004 issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition revealed that the average per capita total carbohydrate intake in the United States consisted of ______ grams per day in 1909 and ______ grams per day in 1997.

Fiber intake, meanwhile, was ______ lower in 1997.


a) 500/500/40

b) 500/300/15

c) 500/250/50

d) 500/200/25

(NOTE: Other studies show that carbohydrate intake has remained steady since 1997, but since this particular study tabulated numbers until 1997, we'll leave it at that).

Leave your guess in the "comments" section and come back on Sunday for the answer.
