It shows that researchers want to find out what causes heart attacks. This is a general statement and does not need other sentences for context. It does not start with a conjunction or use pronouns. Why other lines are not chosen? Paragraph 2 starts with "High-fat diets" which is specific and not general. Paragraph 3 starts with "But" which is a conjunction. Paragraph 4 starts with "A higher percentage" which is specific and assumes prior knowledge. Paragraph 5 starts with "In addition" which is also a conjunction.
