Statistics question- Is this an appropriate interpretation?

My teacher gave us this fake magazine clipping and asked us if it was an appropriate interpretation of what's said in the brochure. Here's what the clipping said,

"More than 75% of seniors who ate fish on a weekly basis had cholesterol levels that were 40 mg/dL lower than those who didn't eat fish."

She said that this ad assumes that eating fish on a weekly basis will lower your cholesterol levels by 40 mg/dL. Is that an appropriate interpretation of the ad?

Update:

If it is/isn't, can you tell why?
