In this argument the author concludes that drinking Saluda Natrual Spring Water (SNSW) is preferable to drinking tap water. Three reasons are offered in support of this conclusion: SNSW contains several of the minerals necessary for good health, it is completely free of bacteria, and residents of Saluda - the town where it is bottled - are hospitalized less frequently than the national average. This argument is unconvincing because it relies on a variety of dubious assumptions.
The first questionable assumption underlying this argument is that tap water does not contain the minerals in question and is not completely free of bacteria. This assumption is not supported in the argument.
この議論に関する最初の疑問のある仮定は、問題のミネラルは水道水に含まれておらず、バクテリアが全くいない訳ではないということです。この仮定はこの議論では立証されていません。
最初の確証のない疑問の根底にあるのが、水道水がミネラルを含まずバクテリアが皆無ではない事だ。この疑問についての補足はされていない。
