Issue 48 "The study of history places too much emphasis on individuals. The most significant events and trends in history were made possible not by the famous few, but by groups of people whose identities have long been forgotten."
Argu57.The following appeared in a newsletter on nutrition and health.
"Although the multimineral Zorba pill was designed as a simple dietary
supplement, a study of first-time ulcer patients who took Zorba suggests
that Zorba actually helps prevent ulcers. The study showed that only 25
percent of those ulcer patients who took Zorba under a doctor's direction
developed new ulcers, compared to a 75 percent recurrence rate among ulcer
patients who did not take Zorba. Clearly, then, Zorba will be highly
effective in preventing recurrent ulcers and if health experts inform the
general public of this fact, many first-time ulcers can be prevented as
well."

35, (食品,保健/预言/并列)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 medicine used to treat headaches(1). 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(2). Recently, food-processing companies have found that salicylates can also be used as flavor additives for foods(3). 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.(4,5)"

Issue:
59 Too much emphasis is placed on role models. Instead of copying others, people should learn to think and act independently and thus make the choices that are best for them.
85 Government funding of the arts threatens the integrity of the arts.
Argument:
53 Thirteen years ago, researchers studied a group of 25 infants who showed signs of mild distress when exposed to unfamiliar stimuli such as an unusual odor or a tape recording of an unknown voice. They discovered that these infants were more likely than other infants to have been conceived in early autumn, a time when their mothers' production of melatonin—a hormone known to affect some brain functions—would naturally increase in response to decreased daylight. In a follow-up study conducted earlier this year, more than half of these children—now teenagers—who had shown signs of distress identified themselves as shy. Clearly, increased levels of melatonin before birth cause shyness during infancy and this shyness continues into later life.
