OK, I can not format

what Keith said. As an exercise simply use the same presentation & arguement method as this essay does with some topic that you disagree with and the flaws become obvious.

For example the claim that 25% of couples are infertile & the implication it is due to the food they eat simply ignores all sorts of evidence (such as the fact that venereal disease is a major cause of infertility...it appears that about 10% to 20% of all infertily is unexplained at best) to hype up the "danger" and of course to get one to buy the book and the food (and no doubt suppliments are offered) etc.

Reasons why couples are infertile: In addition to age-related factors, increased risk for infertility is associated with the following: Multiple sexual partners (increases risk for sexually transmitted diseases) Sexually transmitted diseases History of PID (pelvic inflammatory disease) History of orchitis or epididymitis in men Mumps (men) Varicocele (men) A past medical history that includes DES exposure (men or women) Eating disorders (women) Anovulatory menstrual cycles Endometriosis Defects of the uterus (myomas) or cervical obstruction Long-term (chronic) disease such as diabetes link: http://www.healthline.com/adamcontent/infertility#causesincidenceandrisk...
