Argument38
The following memo appeared in the newsletter of the West Meria Public Health Council.

"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 daily use of Ichthaid, a nutritional supplement derived from fish oil, as a good way to prevent colds and lower absenteeism."

Around the problem of the cases for absenteeism, the author presents such a resolve method, but the whole paragraph consists of an illogical and absurd reason and relationship, and that is difficult to persuade others in the using of Ichthaid to prevent cold which is the main excuse for absenteeism.

Firstly, the author states a study report about a high fish consumption brings a low cold occurrence happened in nearby East Meria, yet this is a compulsory reason which lacks a scientific support whether a substance in fish could really prevent cold, in that place other causes lead to a low cold probability may also exist, for instance, fresh air condition could result in the same situation. So there needs a deep research about the relationship between fish eating and cold preventing.

What's more, the authenticity in the statement that absence from school and work with a reason of cold is hard to examine. Maybe cold is not a reason, but only an excuse, for a cold is the most common ailment, people who don't want to work or study for other reasons such as laziness may use it as a pretext. If it is the truth, at last although the cold is prevented hugely, that doesn't mean the absenteeism could increase.

The other concern is about Ichthaid which is abstracted from fish oil; does it really work in cold prevention or treatment? The author abnegates other causes or substances in fish and directly points to this medicine, without indicating the mechanism of this medicine in cold resistance, here lacks substantial evidence obviously.

In sum, in the relation between cold prevention and fish consumption, the author needs a deep and fully research, the statements above could not lead to the conclusion that Ichthaid is a good way to prevent colds and lower absenteeism. In contrast, it is more likely as a commercial advertisement full of ambiguous and false information.
