B) The manufacturers of REDUCAL claim that their product reduces craving for sugar, complex carbohydrates and other unhealthy foods. However, in a recent study, people with chronic cravings for unhealthy foods when given the main ingredient in REDUCAL reported no decrease in cravings for such foods. Thus, since REDUCAL has only two ingredients, if similar results are found for the second ingredient, we can conclude that REDUCAL does not reduce craving for sugar, complex carbohydrates and other unhealthy foods.

The argument above is flawed in that it

confuses a mere correlation with a cause

relies on a sample that is likely to be unrepresentative

overlooks the possibility that REDUCAL helps people quit consuming unhealthy foods in ways other than by reducing cravings for such food

illicitly presumes that a claim must be false because the people making the claim are biased

illicitly presumes that a whole must lack a certain quality if all of its parts lack that quality
