Help me guys !!!again got to to options then confused!!!share the approach!!
Statistics show that although consumption of
low-calorie, alternative sweeteners has gone up
in each of the past five years, so has the
percentage of the population that is obese.
According to sugar manufacturers, this shows
that the low-calorie, alternative sweeteners are
not effective weight loss aids.
Which of the following assertions, if true, would
most weaken the sugar manufacturers’
conclusion?
(A) Many people who use low-calorie,
alternative sweeteners eat some foods
that are not low-calorie.
(B) Some low-calorie, alternative sweeteners
can increase the appetite, making a
person eat more than he or she normally
would.
(C) Many people use low-calorie, alternative
sweeteners to accompany a wellbalanced,
low-calorie diet.
(D) Obesity has declined among people who
have consistently used low-calorie,
alternative sweeteners.
(E) The rise in the consumption of low-calorie,
alternative sweeteners is primarily due to
an increase in the number of users rather
than an increase in the amount each user
consume

Long time lurker...couldn't help but start answering.
IMO (D)
The assumption is that the impact on the general population can be applied to the specific group (sweetener consumers).
(D) directly contradicts. Consumers of sweetener actually are losing weight, (an effective weight loss aid), and those that don't have an increasing obesity rate
