So by eating Fantastic Flakes every morning, you too will be on the most effective path to physical fitness.

The argumentation in the advertisement is flawed in that it
infers a cause from a mere correlation
presumes, without providing justification, that Fantastic Flakes are more nutritious than other cereals
infers that a given factor is the sole predictor of a result merely on the grounds that the factor has been shown to contribute to that result
draws a conclusion about all adults from a sample that is too small to be representative
infers that some members of a group have a particular characteristic merely from the fact that the group as a whole has it
