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

IMO D)
The main argument is that sweetners have not affected obesity. However if D) is true then this argument is weakened.

A) does weaken argument as well.
However if you consider the main point it says that sweetners do not help reducing obesity. D) directly contradicts this and therefore much better than A).
You should always list choice which directly contradicts.
