Fruit Juice, in Moderation, Not Tied to Obesity in Children
…………………….experts believe that drinking fruit juice may lead to obesity in children, but a new review
has found that juice in moderation does not cause excess weight gain in children under 18.
Researchers pooled data……………… eight prospective observational studies of the association between
regular 100 percent fruit juice consumption and weight gain. The analysis, published in Pediatrics, includes
34,470 boys and girls under 18.
The studies used something called the B.M.I. z score, …………………….statistically adjusts body mass index
according to age. Changes in these scores of 0.25 to 0.50 are generally considered to put the child at risk for
obesity.
After controlling for total energy intake, birth weight, ethnicity and other factors, a 6- to 8-ounce daily serving
of 100 percent fruit juice was associated with a 0.087 unit average increase in B.M.I. z score in children 1 to 6
— equivalent to about 0.3 pounds. In those 7 to 18, there was no link ……………….. all between drinking fruit
juice and weight gain.
The lead author, Dr. Brandon J. Auerbach, an acting instructor in medicine at the University of Washington,
said that based ……………………. the current evidence, “consuming one daily serving of fruit juice is not
associated with weight gain in children. So fruit juice in moderation, not more than a serving a day, is safe.”

Gabarito comentado
Comentário de Gabarito – Inglês | Interpretação de Texto | Vestibular
Tema central: A questão avalia sua habilidade de interpretação de textos em inglês, especificamente reconhecer qual informação está, de fato, fornecida no texto.
Estratégia de Resolução: Use técnicas fundamentais de leitura, como skimming (captar a ideia geral) e scanning (localizar dados específicos). Assim, busque rapidamente informações diretas sobre origem dos dados, números, percentuais ou resultados específicos.
Análise das Alternativas:
A) How many experts have participated on the studies?
O texto menciona “experts believe”, mas não informa números de participantes especialistas. Alternativa errada.
B) What’s the percentage of kids over 18?
O estudo é sobre menores de 18 anos; não há dados nem referência sobre “kids over 18”. Portanto, incorreto.
C) Where has the information about the subject come from?
O texto cita que a análise foi publicada na revista “Pediatrics” e há referência ao The New York Times e ao autor. Isso responde diretamente de onde vieram as informações. Alternativa correta.
D) How long has the study taken?
Nenhum trecho fala sobre a duração do estudo. É impossível responder essa questão pelo texto. Errado.
E) How heavy can a teenager get when drinking fruit juice on a daily basis?
O texto diz que “não houve associação entre tomar suco de fruta e ganho de peso em adolescentes”, mas não fornece um valor concreto sobre quanto um adolescente pode ganhar de peso. Item inválido.
Pegadinha da Questão: Atenção a generalizações (“quantos especialistas?”, “percentual de maiores de 18?”, “quanto pesa?”) — a maioria dessas informações não está presente no texto. Isso testa se você sabe diferenciar o que é explicitamente informado do que é apenas citado de forma geral.
Dica de ouro: Sempre procure no texto pela resposta literal ou por evidências claras; não deduza nem extrapole!
Resumo: Responde-se corretamente com a alternativa C, pois o texto indica explicitamente de onde veio a informação.
