There have been many complaints about the unpleasant side-effects supposedly caused by a new vitamin supplement that was recently released onto the market. The new product has many advantages over its competitors such as the inclusion of antioxidants and iron, and the improvement of the absorption process of the vitamins into the body, to name a few. Clearly, the side-effects are not related to the new product and are simply coincidental.
The argument is flawed primarily because the author
A) assumes a correlation between the number of benefits provided by a particular product and its lack of drawbacks
B) does not make a clear comparison between the advantages of the new product and those of any one of its competitors
C) ignores the negative side-effects caused by the new product's competitors
D) fails to include the professional opinion of a medical expert in the field of nutritional science
E) draws a conclusion without presenting factual information that can be logically analyzed
