Which logical fallacy is used in the text?
Don't feel bad about serving your children that sweet fruit punch with high fructose corn syrup in it. It's derived from real corn, so it must not cause the same health problems as completely artificial sweeteners.
A: guilt by association: a negative association intended to discredit someone or something
B: appeal to nature: the assumption that natural things are always good
C: straw man: a misrepresentation of an opponent's position that makes it easier to argue against
The text argues that drinks with high fructose corn syrup aren't bad for you because high fructose corn syrup is derived from a natural ingredient. However, a sweetener isn't necessarily healthy just because it's derived from a natural ingredient. This illustrates a type of logical fallacy known as an appeal to nature.
