Cheetah Sweet, a popular energy drink, has recently released a line of zero-calorie energy drinks for athletes who seek flavor and hydration without sugar. But Cheetah Sweet’s zero-calorie drinks contain a number of chemicals known to have a deleterious effect on the body, so clearly these athletes would be better served by consuming regular Cheetah Sweet instead.
Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?
A. The chemicals affect anyone who drinks Cheetah Sweet’s zero-calorie line.
B. Cheetah Sweet’s zero-calorie line cannot be altered to remove the chemicals.
C. Regular Cheetah Sweet is at least as tasty as Cheetah Sweet’s zero-calorie line.
D. Sugar does not have a more deleterious effect on the body than the chemicals in question.
E. Cheetah Sweet has no plans to discontinue its regular line.
Athletes will not drink zero-drinks because of chemicals that damage the body, and instead, they will drink sweet drinks.
Imagine if the sugar will also damage the body the same as chemical does, thus, athletes will not reduce the damage probability in their body!
