ARGUMENT142 - The article entitled 'Eating Iron' in last month's issue of Eating for Health reported that a recent study found a correlation between high levels of iron in the diet and an increased risk of heart disease. Further, it is well established that there is a link between large amounts of red meat in the diet and heart disease, and red meat is high in iron. On the basis of the study and the well-established link between red meat and heart disease, we can conclude that the correlation between high iron levels and heart disease, then, is most probably a function of the correlation between red meat and heart disease.

In this argument, the author argues that people can conclude that the correlation between high iron levels and heart disease is most probably a function of the correlation between red meat and heart disease. To support the argument, the author cites a study between the red meat and high iron levels. However, the argument suffers from several critical flaws, which render it unpersuasive as it stands.

To begin with, the reports that recent study found a correlation between high level of iron in the diet and an increased risk of heart disease is unwarranted. We can see that the reports are recorded by a single article. And the author provides no evidence concerning the specific situation of the article. It is entirely possible that the study established by the article so limit in the area that can not be representative of other places. Without ruling out such possibility, the author cannot reasonably rely on the result of article to maintain the conclusion.

In the second place, the argument is well reasoned only when the linkage between large amounts of red meat in the diet and heart disease is credible. But we are not informed whether it is the case. Moreover, the author offers no evidence or details about the study. And it is possible that the result created by the study is not justified, for the evidence about such study is not accurate. Lacking evidence that the study is logically reasonable, the author cannot convince me to support the conclusion that there is a strong link between large amounts of red meat in the diet and heart disease.

Last but not least, assuming the linkage between the two samples is convincing, we cannot conclude that it is the high levels of iron that cause the heart disease hastily. It is quite possible that the main reason for the heart disease is not iron but other substances which is also high in red meat. Moreover, the iron in red meat will not exert any influence on increasing the risk of heart disease. Without taking into consideration this possible scenario, the author cannot justifiably rely on the linkage to support the conclusion.

In sum, the author unfairly draws the conclusion. To strengthen the argument, the author should tell us more and clear evidence concerning the link between high iron levels or red meat and heart disease. To better evaluate the argument, we need more information about the details on each study.

And the author provides no evidence concerning the specific situation of the article.（可以具体举例子） It is entirely possible that the study established by the article so limit in the area that can not be representative of other places.

Last but not least, assuming the linkage between the two samples is convincing, we cannot conclude that it is the high levels of iron that cause the heart disease hastily. It is quite possible that the main reason for the heart disease is not iron but other substances which is also high in red meat. （比如说。。。）Moreover, the iron in red meat will not exert any influence on increasing the risk of heart disease.（怎么讲，有证据吗？还是common sense） Without taking into consideration this possible scenario, the author cannot justifiably rely on the linkage to support the conclusion.

In sum, the author unfairly draws the conclusion. To strengthen the argument, the author should tell us more and clear evidence concerning the link between high iron levels or red meat and heart disease. To better evaluate the argument, we need more information about the details on each study.
