PrepTest 105 - Section 2 - Question 12

Show summary

It is probably not true that colic in infants is caused by the inability of those infants to tolerate certain antibodies found in cow's milk, since it is often the case that symptoms of colic are shown by infants that are fed breast milk exclusively.

Summarize Argument: Phenomenon-Hypothesis

The author hypothesizes that colic in infants is probably not caused by certain antibodies found in cow’s milk. Why not? Because lots of infants who only drink breast milk, and so are never exposed to cow’s milk, also get colic.

Notable Assumptions

The author is assuming that infants who drink only breast milk are not exposed to the same antibodies which are found in cow’s milk. The author is also assuming that if colic were caused by the antibodies in question, it couldn’t also be separately caused by another factor.
