Evaluate the author’s argument that the use of artificial sweeteners is a controversial issue. Consider the author’s reasoning and use of evidence, and identify examples of irrelevant evidence and problematic reasoning. Use specific information from the text to develop your response. Could someone please give me an example of a response to this? From any passage?
I'd also like what 'Consider the author’s reasoning and use of evidence, and identify examples of irrelevant evidence and problematic reasoning.' means.
This needs to be due today!!!

Artificial Sweetners. Artificial sweeteners were made for people who cannot eat sugar or who want to cut down on calories from sugary foods. After many years of use, artificial sweeteners are still controversial. Some people think that they are good because they do not cause cavities and may help them lose weight.

Explanation:   Make a postive vs negative effect on how bad it is and how great it tastes. EXAMPLE: Artificial sweeteners have been scrutinized intensely for decades. Critics of artificial sweeteners say that they cause a variety of health problems, including cancer. That's largely because of studies dating to the 1970s that linked the artificial sweetener saccharin to bladder cancer in laboratory rats. EXAMPLE 2: “Non-nutritive sweeteners are far more potent than table sugar and high-fructose corn syrup. A miniscule amount produces a sweet taste comparable to that of sugar, without comparable calories.
