### Pagina 9

Tekst 9 Healthy diet
De volgende drie alinea’s kwamen oorspronkelijk na alinea 3, maar zijn uit de
tekst weggehaald (zie stippellijntjes in de tekst).

[a] Blood taken from the volunteers found that low-carb meals raised a
chemical precursor to dopamine, which correlated with more tolerant
behaviour in the game. No such link was seen with a range of other blood
measurements.

[b] In several experiments, participants who had eaten a low-carb meal
earlier in the day were more likely to accept unfair offers in the game than
those who had eaten a high-carb meal. In one experiment, 76 per cent of
low-carbers accepted an unfair offer compared with 47 per cent of a highcarb group.

[c] In theory, people should always accept, but in practice, people often
reject low offers. We seem to have an urge to punish those who split the
money unfairly, even if we suffer a small loss, says Park.

Zet de letters in de juiste volgorde.

1p 40 Which of the following was the original subtitle of this article?

people more tolerant.
B Does social context influence people’s preference for a low-carb diet?
Spoiler alert: it does.
C Eating less is more — the low-carb diet myth unravelled.
D Healthy, wealthy and wise: the low-carb diet is here to stay.
