Defining Ethos, Pathos, and Logos

Ethos: When the information or subject is quoted from a credible source such as doctors, engineers,              or scientists.

Pathos: Using an emotion to sway the reader's opinion about one's topic or argument.

Logos: An argument that appeals to logically sense by presenting itself as reasonable and
            well-structured opinion.

Brainstorm: 3 S.B.S

Ethos:

1. Dr. Mark Hyman, practicing family physician and Director of the Cleveland Clinic Center for Functional Medicine, argues that not only is high fructose corn syrup an indicator of nutritionally-depleted food, but it is also not another form of cane sugar, as it isn’t biochemically identical or , most importantly, similarly processed by the body.
2. Dr. Joseph Mercola, a practicing osteopathic physician and award winner of the Emord & Associated P.C "Freedom of Informed Choice", argues that products like sweeten drinks are one of the biggest contributes to obesity by pointing out that one vitamin water equals three Krispy Kreme doughnuts.
3. University of Utah researchers have found that feeding high fructose corn syrup to female mice not only reduces their fertility rate but also cuts their lifespans in half.

Pathos:

1. If you are a woman who is consuming high fructose corn syrup, there is a possibility that it is not only reducing your fertility rate but also causing a massive decline of your health.
2. Consuming high fructose corn syrup may not only effect the parent's health but also the health of the child while they are still in their mother's womb.
3. In recent studies, children as young as five have been diagnosed with diabetes. An adult's disease that twenty years ago would never have even been considered an affliction one's children would have to suffer through.

Logos:

1. Some companies, due to debates over the affects of corn syrup, strive to produce products sweetened with cane sugar instead. So perhaps one should consider buying such products instead or simply by fruits in an effort to curve sugar cravings.
2. Considering the fact that there have been extreme negative affects on mice fed high fructose corn syrup, perhaps the human population ought to consider not buying products with such ingredients in them.
3. When so many people, including those with credentials, are arguing against the use of corn syrup, perhaps the every day person should look into such arguments and reach a conclusion for themselves.
