Statistics show that although consumption of low-calorie, alternative sweeteners has gone up in each of the past five years, so has the percentage of the population that is obese. According to sugar manufacturers, this shows that the low-calorie, alternative sweeteners are not effective weight loss aids.
Which of the following assertions, if true, would most weaken the sugar manufacturers' conclusion?
- A Many people who use low-calorie, alternative sweeteners eat some foods that are not low- calorie.
- B Some low-calorie, alternative sweeteners can increase the appetite, making a person eat more than he or she normally would.
- C Many people use low-calorie, alternative sweeteners to accompany a well-balanced, low-calorie diet.
- D Obesity has declined among people who have consistently used low-calorie, alternative sweeteners.
- E The rise in the consumption of low-calorie, alternative sweeteners is primarily due to an increase in the number of users rather than an increase in the amount each user consumes.
