Analysis of Argument Question for the GMAT : 2003-2004
Argument 140
The following appeared in an article in a health and fitness magazine.
“A recent study of balding men revealed that 80% had higher than normal levels of the chemical compound DHT in their bodies. A second study discovered that rats fed a diet high in animal fats produced elevated levels of the same chemical. In this second study, however, one group of rats did not produce DHT when they also ate portions of wheat germ — a food rich in vitamin E — along with the other foods high in animal fat. Viewed together, these studies show that the best way to maintain healthy hair and scalp is to reduce fat consumption sharply and to take daily vitamin E supplements.” Discuss how well reasoned . . . etc.
