PASSAGE
Text A: The Mediterranean diet, which emphasizes olive oil, fish, whole grains, and fresh vegetables, has been widely praised by nutritionists. People who follow this diet tend to have lower rates of heart disease and live longer on average than people who eat diets high in processed foods. Some researchers believe the diet's benefits come primarily from olive oil, which contains healthy fats that protect the heart. The diet is also relatively easy to follow because it allows a wide variety of foods.
Text B: The plant-based diet, in which people avoid all or most animal products, is gaining popularity as both a health strategy and an environmental choice. Followers of a strict plant-based diet have been shown to have lower body weight and reduced risk of type 2 diabetes compared to meat eaters. Critics note, however, that a poorly planned plant-based diet can lead to deficiencies in nutrients such as vitamin B12, iron, and calcium, which are found primarily in animal products. Careful meal planning or supplementation is therefore necessary for people following this diet.
Both texts discuss health benefits of specific diets, but they differ in one important way regarding risks or concerns. Which statement best captures this difference?
