The common procedure for determining whether a food additive should be banned from use is to compare its health-related benefits with its potential risks. Yellow Dye No. 5, an additive used to color lemon soda, might cause allergic reactions in a few consumers. For most consumers of lemon soda, however, the coloring enhances their enjoyment of the beverage. This particular additive should not be banned, ttherefore, because its benefits greatly outweigh its risks. A flaw in the argument is that the author ['ignores the possibility that some food additives are harmful to most people', 'implies that the dye entails no health-related risks', 'presumes that most consumers heed the warning labels on beverage containers', 'treats enjoyment of a beverage as a health-related benefit']
