反对论据：假设Forthesakeofthisargument,wewillassumethatthestudiesandthestatisticsaboutNorthAmericans'andAsians'soyeatinghabitsarecorrect,andthatisoflavoneshavebeenfoundtohavedisease-fightingproperties.Giventhat,thereisstillaproblemwiththearguerdirectlycorrelatingtheeatingofsoywiththepreventionofdiseaseanddepression.针对这一论述，我们假定关于北美和亚洲大豆饮食习惯的研究与统计数据是正确的，而且异黄酮也确实有抗病功效。即便如此，作者将大豆的抗病功能与抗抑郁的功能直接联系到一起仍然是有问题的。英语议论文写作ModelessayEvidence1论据1Firstofall,simplybecausesoymayhavedisease-preventingproperties,thatdoesnotmeanthatitcanthereforefightchronicfatigueandchronicdepression.Fatigueanddepressionmaynotactuallyevenbeconsideredas"diseases",thereforeevengiventhefactthatsoyhasdisease-fightingproperties,itwouldhavenoeffectonthe"nondiseases"offatigueanddepression.Secondly,evenassumingthatfatigueanddepressionarediseases,theyarenotspecificallymentionedasdiseasesthatsoyorisoflavonesareabletoprevent.Perhapssoycanhelppreventosteoporosis(boneloss),mumpsorevenchickenpox,butthatdoesnotmeanthatitcanspecificallyaddresstheproblemsofchronicfatigueandchronicdepression.Thesetwocriticalweaknessesalonemaketheargumentunconvincing.首先，简单的根据大豆可能有防病功能，那不意味着它就可以对抗慢性疲劳和慢性抑郁。疲劳和抑郁或许实际上不能被看做疾病，因此即使建设大豆确有抗病功效，那么也不会对疲劳和抑郁这些非疾病有效。其次，就算假定疲劳和抑郁确实是疾病，它们也没有作为大豆或者异黄酮能够防范的具体疾病中提到。或许大豆可以有助于防止（骨质疏松），但这不意味着大豆可以具体解决疲劳和抑郁的问题。仅仅这两个严重的缺陷就使这一论证不令人信服。英语议论文写作ModelessayEvidence2论据2Furthermore,thearguer'sconclusionisbasedontheideathatdietalonecanpreventfatigueanddepressionbycomparingthedietsofNorthAmericansandAsians.Itishighlyunlikelythatdietaloneisresponsibleforthetremendousdifferenceintheratesoffatigueanddepressionbetweenthetwopopulations.Otherfactorssuchaslifestyles,occupations,residenceincityorruralareasandlevelsofstressmayplayamuchbiggerfactorthandiet.Additionally,thearguerstatesthatsoycontainsphytochemicalscalledisoflavones,whichsupposedlyhavedisease-preventingproperties.并且，作者的结论是基于通过对比北美和亚洲人的饮食得出单靠饮食就可以防止疲劳和抑郁这一观点得出的。然而单一的饮食因素就能够解释两大人群中疲劳和抑郁的比例巨大差异是很不可能的。其他因素如生活方式、职业、城市还是郊区居住以及压力水平可能影响更大。此外，作者描述了大豆含有异黄酮的植物化学物质，该物质假定有防病功效。英语议论文写作ModelessayEvidence3论据3Whatisnotstated,however,iswhethertheseisoflavonesarecontainedinaforminsoythatisusablebythehumanbody.Itispossiblethattheparticularconfigurationofthephytochemicalsfoundinsoyproductsisnotusablebythehumanbody,therebyproducingnobeneficialeffectsbypeopleeatingmoresoyproducts.Inandofthemselves,isoflavonesmaypreventcertaindiseases,butperhapsthosefoundinsoyareofnobenefittohumans.Byfailingtoaddressthesepossibilities,thearguerhaspresentedanunconvincingargument.然而还有一点没有提及，就是以大豆形式存在的异黄酮是否可以被人体利用。可能在大豆产品中找到的植物化学物质的具体配置不能被人踢利用，那么人们使用更多的豆制品没有一处。英语议论文写作Conclusion结论Insummary,theargumentfailsduetofourmajorflawsin
