WeakenDiff: Hardest

Logic Breakdown

Passage Summary: Because French people drink red wine and stay healthy despite eating fat, the author suggests North Americans should do the same to avoid heart disease.

Conclusion: North Americans can improve their health without reducing fat consumption simply by drinking more red wine.

Reasoning: The French have low heart disease despite high fat intake, likely because they drink a lot of red wine which offsets the fat.

Analysis: The dietician is banking everything on red wine being the magic bullet for heart health. This ignores a sea of other variables, like the fact that the French might lead less stressful lives or walk more than the average North American. To undermine this, look for an answer that suggests the French Paradox is caused by something other than what is in their wine glasses. We need to find a piece of evidence that breaks the causal link between wine consumption and heart health.
