The author concludes that people who take vitamin C supplements tend to be healthier than average. This is because a study showed that people who regularly consume high doses of vitamin C supplements have a much lower than average risk of heart disease.

The author assumes that taking vitamin C supplements doesn’t cause any harm to overall health that could outweigh the benefits of lower risk of heart disease. (Maybe vitamin C supplements lead to a higher risk of kidney disease? If so, we can’t conclude that people who take vitamin C supplements are healthier than average.)

The conclusion is about vitamin C supplements, and the study is also about vitamin C supplements. Whether vitamin C in food has different effects from vitamin C in supplements doesn’t affect the argument.

The author never suggested eating vitamin C was the best way to reduce heart disease. There can be other dietary changes that reduce heart disease as much or more than vitamin C; this is consistent with the argument.

We know there’s a correlation between eating high doses of vitamin C supplements and having a lower risk of heart disease. The fact a combination of vitamins might reduce heart disease more doesn’t change the fact that there’s evidence vitamin C reduces heart disease risk.

This points out a harmful effect of vitamin C supplements. This raises the possibility that this harmful effect might outweigh decreased risk of heart disease when it comes evaluating vitamin C supplements’ impact on overall health.

This is an additional benefit of vitamin C supplements. To weaken the argument, we want to point out a harm from vitamin C supplements.
