Researchers have found that people who drink five or more cups of coffee a day have a risk of heart disease 2.5 times the average after corrections are made for age and smoking habits.Members of the research team say that, on the basis of their findings, they now limit their own daily coffee intake to two cups.
Which one of the following, if true, indicates that the researchers’ precaution might NOT have the result of decreasing their risk of heart disease?
(A) The study found that for people who drank three or more cups of coffee daily, the additional risk of heart disease increased with each extra daily cup.
(B) Per capita coffee consumption has been declining over the past 20 years because of the increasing popularity of soft drinks and also because of health worries.
(C) The study did not collect information that would show whether variations in level of coffee consumption are directly related to variations in level of stress, a major causal factor in heart disease.
(D) Subsequent studies have consistently shown that heavy smokers consume coffee at about 3 times the rate of nonsmokers.
(E) Subsequent studies have shown that heavy coffee consumption tends to cause an elevated blood-cholesterol level, an immediate indicator of increased risk of heart disease.

I go with C
C is the only option that is weakening the conclusion. C states that the author didnt consider a major factor and its effect on coffee consumption while concluding that just reducing coffee consumption reduces the risk of heart attack.

The research team states that they are themselves reducing coffee consumption to 2 cups per do - So we can assume that reducing coffee per day reduces the risk of heart attack ( Without considering smoking as a factor for Heart Attacks)
Option (C) casts doubt whether reduction of Coffee consumption can lead to reduced risk of heart attack , hence this is the correct answer....
