Passage Summary: A nutritionist claims $300 juicers are a waste of money because the juice they produce isn't any healthier than the original fruit or vegetable. They suggest eating a carrot is just as good as drinking its juice.

Conclusion: The nutritionist concludes that consumers should not spend money on expensive home juicers and should instead just eat whole vegetables.

Reasoning: The nutritionist argues that juice separated from the pulp has no nutritional properties that the whole fruit or vegetable does not already possess.

Analysis: To weaken this argument, we need to find a benefit of juicing that the nutritionist has overlooked. The nutritionist assumes the only reason to juice is to gain 'new' nutritional properties, but there are many other reasons someone might buy a machine. For instance, if juicing allows a person to consume a much higher volume of nutrients than they could by chewing whole vegetables, the machine provides a benefit. Look for an answer that suggests a practical or physiological advantage to consuming juice over whole produce that justifies the cost of the device.
