eliminate those foods to which the patients have been demonstrated to have allergic migraine reactions
frequently does not stop headaches. Obviously, some other cause of migraine headaches besides food allergies
much exist.
Which of the following, if true, would most weaken the conclusion above?
(A) Many common foods elicit an allergic response only after several days, making it very difficult to observe
links between specific foods patients eat and headaches they develop.
(B) Food allergies affect many people who never develop the symptom of migraine headaches.
(C) Many patients report that the foods that cause them migraine headaches are among the foods that they
most enjoy eating.
(D) Very few patients have allergic migraine reactions as children live migraine-free adult lives once they have
eliminated from their diets foods to which they have been demonstrated to be allergic.
(E) Very rarely do food allergies cause patients to suffer a symptom more severe than that of migraine headache

A




i think D was an ambiguous contender, still not satidfied how they negated D.


Only because of very few ???If at all few people experienced it then its established that food was indeed the cause hence weakening the arguement.

Analogy - > "One poison dies with a poison or 100--- its proven from a single case that poison kills. "

Meh. So the sentence is trying to say that Migraines have been all but eradicated in our world, i.e. only a few people still get migraines out of the entire population of the world? Unlikely to appear in a real GMAT question. So either the Question is a bad one, or it's a good one, but misquoted.

i checked in the hard copy of OG-10 that i have,,,. pg 600 q-102, the text in red was missing, sorry for having copied the question from an old forum,.,.,

however i still dont think that we can while heartedly throw out D. And yes this is an official question so should not be ambiguous.
