Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

Does the author support the assertion that homemade cokies retain theis nutrients?

Homemade oatmeal cookies are not only a better snack choice as compared to a chocolate bar or a packet of chips but they are actually good for your health as well. Processed foods loose nutrients during the manufacturing process. Homemade treats such as oatmeal cookies keep the nutrients in. A candy bar may be a very tempting option but if you decide to have a candy bar today, tomorrow you are going to wake up with teeth full of cavities. One one-ounce, homemade oatmeal cookie will give you up to 27 mg of folate―6% of your daily recommended allowance (RDA)―a B vitamin that your body uses to make energy. It will also give you small amounts of vitamin A and vitamin K. According to Janet Berns, who has worked for 23 years at George Washington Hospital in Houston, Texas, “Oatmeal cookies are a good source of Iron. A one‐ounce, homemade oatmeal cookie contains .70 mg of iron―9% of the RDA for men and 4% of the RDA for women”. Diana, a house wife in South Hampton states, “Oatmeal cookies keep you healthy. My mother eats oatmeal cookies daily and she never went to the doctor.” Cookies are a big hit among kids as well. Bakeries now have introduced a variety of cookies to tempt the customers. One such cookie is fortune cookies. Jane, a regular customer at Betty’s Bakery Virginia states “Once I got a fortune cookie that said I should donate a penny or I’ll have a bad day. On my way home I hit my head on a tree. I wish I had donated a penny.” There is a good deal of talk these days that plastic packaging should not be used for oatmeal cookies and other bakery items.

Answer:

No.

Explanation:

The author of the text does not support the information that homemade cookies retain nutrients, as it does not provide any justification for this statement, and does not show facts and evidence to prove that it is correct, although we know that homemade foods are in fact , healthier than processed foods. In this case, we can affirm that the author failed to offer supporting evidence for his argument.
