Question

The Inuit Paradox:

• A. is a place in the arctic circle near Greenland.
• B. is that the Inuits eat a lot of fat and hardly any fruits and are still very healthy.
• C. is that the Inuits eat anything that moves but spare the reindeer.
• D. is that the inuits have very little exposure to the Sun but suffer no deficiency from Vitamin D.
• E. is a Glacier that looks like a circle from a distance but is actually a rectangle.

Hint:

When you see “paradox” in social science or nutrition, look for a result that contradicts common expectations (here, high-fat diet vs. reported heart health).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

The phrase “Inuit Paradox” (often discussed in nutrition writing) refers to observations that traditional Inuit populations maintained good health {despite} diets extremely high in animal fat and protein and very low in fruits and vegetables.


Their traditional diet featured marine mammals and fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids, with minimal carbohydrates or plant fibers.
Historically, low rates of cardiovascular disease were reported in these groups, which seemed paradoxical given then-prevailing dietary guidelines that associated high fat intake with heart disease.
Hence the “paradox” = {high-fat, low-produce diet yet good health outcomes} in traditional settings.
Other options describe places, animals, sunlight/Vitamin D claims, or glacial shapes—none capture the nutritional paradox. \[ \boxed{\text{Inuit Paradox} = \text{healthy outcomes on a very high-fat, low-produce traditional diet.}} \]
