A. Anemia B. Atherosclerosis C. COPD D. Heart disease E. Stroke (CVA)

Correct Answer is ["B","D","E"]

Explanation

A. Anemia:

Anemia is typically related to iron deficiency, blood loss, or chronic disease. It is not caused by high cholesterol or saturated fat intake.

B. Atherosclerosis:

Excess cholesterol and saturated fat contribute to plaque buildup in arteries, leading to atherosclerosis (hardening and narrowing of arteries).

C. COPD:

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is primarily caused by smoking and air pollutants, not dietary fat or cholesterol.

D. Heart disease:

Diets high in saturated fat and cholesterol increase LDL ("bad") cholesterol, contributing to coronary artery disease and heart attacks.

E. Stroke (CVA):

Atherosclerosis from high-fat diets increases the risk of ischemic stroke due to blocked arteries in the brain.
