Treating meat with irradiation kills many bacteria that can cause illness but it also triggers chemical decompositions. These decompositions produce substances that can cause cancer. Thorough cooking kills the same bacteria in meat as does irradiation treatment. Therefore, to minimize health risks, meat should be cooked thoroughly rather than treated withirradiation.
[color=#444444] Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument above?
(A) Neither thorough cooking nor irradiation treatment can kill all of the bacteria present in some meats.
(B) Since radiation was first used to treat meat, the amount of irradiation required for the process has been greatly reduced.
(C) Not all of the substances produced by the chemical decompositions triggered by irradiation are potentially carcinogenic.
(D) Some of the bacteria that are found in cooked meat are beneficial to digestive processes in humans.
(E) Thoroughly cooked, unirradiated meat contains potentially
