The argument concludes that over time, almost any food will eventually be reported to be healthful. Why? Because both chocolate and olive oil have been considered unhealthy in the past, but were more recently reported to have health benefits.

The argument is flawed because it makes an overly broad generalization from limited evidence. Just two examples of foods eventually reported to be healthful—chocolate and olive oil—isn’t enough to show that almost any food will eventually be reported to be healthful.

The argument doesn’t rely on any sources that are likely to be biased. Even if the reports were biased, that wouldn’t impact the argument’s conclusion, which is about what will likely be reported.

The argument doesn’t apply a general rule to a specific case. Rather, it draws a general rule about almost all food based on the specific examples of chocolate and olive oil.

The argument concludes that almost every food will eventually be reported to be healthful based only on the examples of chocolate and olive oil. This is an overly broad generalization about all food based on just two instances.

The argument never claims or assumes that all nutritional research results are eventually reported. The claim is just that, for almost any food, there will eventually be some report that the food is healthful.

The argument doesn’t claim that there are not many foods that are reported to be unhealthful, only that most foods will eventually be reported to be healthful.
