Nonetheless, according to longitudinal studies—studies that follow subjects over the course of many years—those who take multivitamins every day have a decreased longevity. Clearly, if people want to live longer they should avoid antioxidants.

Question List: 1

Which of the following is an assumption the argument relies on?

  • A The use of antioxidants does not vary across different age groups.
  • B The less often one takes multivitamins, the more one's longevity increases.
  • C The antioxidants found in vitamins do not differ from antioxidants found in other sources, such as food.
  • D Antioxidants can confer health benefits that do not relate to longevity.
  • E Antioxidants destroy free radicals, which are toxic to the body.
