Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
Over the years, countless numbers of men and women have paid large sums of money for a treatment commonly known as cell therapy. Their reason was simple: They believed lamb-cell injections could help them maintain their youth. Such people apparently don’t know that animal cells, when injected into the human body, are destroyed by the immune system. Others in a similar pursuit of youth have tried chelation therapy, which is supposed to pull heavy metals like lead and mercury from the body. Proponents claim that the treatments improve cell function, inhibit the aging process, and prevent heart disease, all by eliminating poison from the body, yet research shows no such effect. In fact, critics question the idea of there being poisons in the body to begin with, suggesting that the therapy has nothing to treat. Other seekers of the fountain of youth use Human Growth Hormone (HGH) tablets or sprays. These sprays and tablets can allegedly accomplish everything from eliminating wrinkles to improving memory and concentration. Yet such treatments have no research backing up these claims. There is, however, evidence that HGH in any form may produce side effects like an increased risk of cancer and cardiovascular disease.

Therapies designed to keep people young are generally ineffective.

It is better to rely on cell therapy more than chelation therapy.

HGH tablets are appealing to seekers of youth because of their fewer side effects.

Therapies for staying younger should be available for everyone, not just for those rich enough to afford them.

Treatments designed to help people maintain youth invariably do more harm than good.

추론할 수 있는 것은 “Therapies designed to keep people young are generally ineffective.”이다.
지문은 양 세포 주사는 면역계에 파괴되고, 킬레이션은 “research shows no such effect”(연구상 효과가 없으며), HGH는 주장을 뒷받침할 연구가 없다고 한다. 세 가지 사례 모두 젊음을 유지한다는 효과가 입증되지 않았다.
“It is better to rely on cell therapy more than chelation therapy.”: 두 요법을 비교해 어느 쪽을 권하지 않으며, 둘 다 비판한다.
“HGH tablets are appealing… because of their fewer side effects.”: 지문은 HGH의 암·심혈관 질환 위험을 경고한다.
“Therapies for staying younger should be available for everyone…”: 접근성의 형평은 논의되지 않는다.
“Treatments designed to help people maintain youth invariably do more harm than good.”: 부작용 증거는 HGH에만 언급되므로 “invariably”(언제나)는 지나친 일반화다.
