Essay

Identify the six parts of the Toulmin Model of Argument in the following example:
"Keeping a food-intake diary is probably the best way to monitor your diet and lose weight. In fact, more people lose weight while keeping and following a food-intake diary than any other method. A study conducted by Dr. Nathan Carter at a major medical school concluded that food-intake diaries are safe and twice as effective as other popular diet methods. Dr. Carter and his research team at University Hospital have been recognized for their valuable contributions to our knowledge about nutrition, diet safety, and effective weight loss. However, Carter also notes that food-intake diaries must be well-calibrated and may not work if there are genetic or hormonal causes of obesity."
