The evidence (same pattern in America and Africa) supports the idea that something systematic is going on, and the researchers&#8217; gene-diet theory attempts to explain what that something might be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-prethinking\">Prethinking:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"h-question-type\">Question type:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Strengthen &#8211; We need to find information that would make the researchers&#8217; hypothesis more believable or credible<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"h-precision-of-claims\">Precision of Claims<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The hypothesis claims that westernized Blacks have genes adapted to low-salt environments that react poorly to high-salt Western diets, causing higher blood pressure rates<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"h-strategy\">Strategy<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>To strengthen this hypothesis, we need evidence that supports the gene-diet interaction theory. We should look for information that shows: 1) westernized Black Africans actually do consume high-salt Western diets, 2) their ancestors lived in low-salt environments, 3) non-westernized Black Africans don&#8217;t show the same high blood pressure rates, or 4) the genetic adaptation to salt scarcity is real and measurable<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Answer Choices Explained<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A. The blood pressures of those descended from peoples situated throughout their history in Senegal and Gambia, where salt was always available, are low.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This perfectly strengthens the hypothesis. If Black Africans descended from peoples in Senegal and Gambia (where salt was historically available) have low blood pressure, this supports the idea that genetic adaptation to salt scarcity is the key factor. These populations wouldn&#8217;t have developed the problematic genes since they never faced salt scarcity, so they don&#8217;t experience elevated blood pressure even with Western diets. This creates the exact contrast the hypothesis predicts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>B. The unusually high salt consumption in certain areas of Africa represents a serious health problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This doesn&#8217;t help the hypothesis at all. Simply stating that high salt consumption in Africa is a health problem doesn&#8217;t tell us anything about the genetic component or why westernized Blacks specifically are more susceptible. This could apply to any population consuming too much salt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>C. Because of their blood pressure levels, most White Africans have markedly decreased their salt consumption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is irrelevant to the hypothesis. What White Africans do about their salt consumption doesn&#8217;t provide any evidence about whether Black Africans have genes adapted to salt scarcity. The researchers&#8217; theory is specifically about genetic differences, not behavioral responses to health concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>D. Blood pressures are low among the Yoruba, who, throughout their history, have been situated far inland from sources of sea salt and far south of Saharan salt mines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This seems supportive at first glance, but it actually doesn&#8217;t strengthen the hypothesis about westernized Blacks. The Yoruba&#8217;s low blood pressure could be explained by their current low-salt traditional diet rather than proving anything about genetic adaptation. We need information about how populations react to Western high-salt diets, not traditional low-salt diets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>E. No significant differences in salt metabolism have been found between those people who have had salt available throughout their history and those who have not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This directly contradicts what would strengthen the hypothesis. If there are no significant differences in salt metabolism between populations with different historical salt access, then the genetic adaptation theory becomes much less plausible. This would weaken rather than strengthen the researchers&#8217; hypothesis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Black Americans are, on the whole, about twice as likely as White Americans to develop high blood pressure.
