Grounding on a study that a rise in the commercial use of salicylates which are members of the same chemical family as aspirin has been found to correlate with a steady decline in the number of headaches, the author accordingly deduce that the new use for salicylates as flavor additive will continually decline the number of headaches suffered in the average citizen of Mentia. However, the argument relies on a series of unsubstantiated assumptions which render it unconvincing as it stands.
To begin with, the author unfairly assumes that the use of salicylates as preservatives additive is the only significant factors affecting the number of headaches, common sense and experience tells us that a variety of other possible factors also plays major roles. For example, since the medical technology has improved a lot during the past 20 years, it is entirely possible that the advanced medical devices decline the number of headaches. If this is the case, it provides an alternative explanation for the declined number of headaches.
Additionally, even if the phenomenon is caused by the use of salicylatesa as preservatives additive, it is still unjustifiable to assume that the use of salicylates as flaovor additives will continually decrease the number of headaches. Although this is entirely possible, the argument provides no evidence to support this assumption. Since, probably, the use as flavor is different from use as preservative, it is entirely possible that the different use of salicylates affect the effectiveness, so it is no longer helpful to treat headaches.
Besides, as it happens, there are already certain amounts of salicylates contained in the food, if more are addicted as flavor, it might cause the excessive use of salicylates. The author fails to prove that this excessive use of salicylates is safe and will continually function as a headache medicine rather than poison. Perhaps, at least the over use of chemical may cause side effects for patients, and this unknown side effects may deteriorate headaches rather than treat them. Without giving more studies on the over use of salicylates, we cannot be convinced that another use as flavor will keep functioning in headaches.
In sum, the argument that a further decline in the number of headaches are expected headaches with the new use of salicylates as flavor additives seems logical as presented but not well supported. To convince me that salicylate is the only reason for the reduced number of headaches, the author must eliminate other possible factors. To evaluate the conclusion the author should rule out other possible results for the additional usage flavor.

argument35:
The following appeared in the summary of a study on headaches suffered by the residents of Mentia.
Salicylates are members of the same chemical family as aspirin, a nedicine used to treat headaches. Although many foods are naturally rich in salicylates, for the past several decades food processing companies have also been adding salicylates to foods as preservatives. This rise in the commercial use of salicylates has been found to correlate with a steady decline in the average number of headaches reported by participants in our twenty-year study. Recently, food-processing companies have foud that salicylates can also be used as flavor additives for foods. With this new use for salicylates, we can expect a continued steady decline in the number of headaches suffered by the average citizen of Mentia.
