In this statement the author claims that the dairy use of a kind of nutritional supplement derived from fish oil could be a efficient way to prevent colds at the same time lower the absenteeism mainly due to colds. However, this conclusion is not well supported by the author.

First, the author draws a hasty conclusion that eating a substantial amount of fish can prevent colds. The survey mentioned which was taken in a specific area would not present all the general area. Different factors that may be the causes of cold such as climate or medical condition have been ignored by the author. The large amount of fish consuming by the residents of East Meria may not be the direct reason of visiting the doctors less than the others. Not all the people who caught cold have to go to the doctors’; instead they may recover by only taking some medicines. Moreover, the climate of East Meria would also be concerned with the possibility to get colds.

Secondly, not all the absent is caused by colds, even some may take cold as an excuse not to go to class or work. In the argument, colds have been assumed to be the main reason to absent without any sufficient information to support. There might be many other potential reasons to prevent one going to school or work, other illnesses, family affairs or even laziness.

Assuming that eating fish is helpful for preventing colds, there is no reason that the dairy use of Ichthaid would have the same function as eating fish. Since Ichthaid are derived from fish oil, the author fails to show the relationship between fish oil and fresh fish. Not all the supplement of fish, especially the compounds which would be helpful to colds, could be found in the fish oil, say nothing of the Ichthaid—derived from fish oil.
In addition, eating fish rather than taking the Ichthaid might be a more direct and simple way to prevent colds because the price of fish might be cheaper than the nutrition which may cause even some side effects not mentioned by the author.
To sum up, the author fails to build a convincible relationship between colds and absenteeism. Alike, the exact effect of fish or Ichthaid to preventing colds is not clearly presented. So the use of Ichthaid should be doubtful by the health-concerned people.

38.  An innovative treatment has come to our attention that promises to significantly reduce absenteeism in our schools and workplaces. A study reports that in nearby East Meria, where fish consumption is very high, people visit the doctor only once or twice per year for the treatment of colds. Clearly, eating a substantial amount of fish can prevent colds. Since colds are the reason most frequently given for absences from school and work, we recommend the dairy use of Ichthaid, a nutritional supplement derived from fish oil, as a good way to prevent colds and lower absenteeism.
