In dealing with negatives, it is very important to remember that the negative may be placed either in the copula or in the term; but it is never permissible to place the negative in the copula in one premise and in the middle term in the other, for this would create four terms: M, M′, S, and P. To make clear that a term is negative, it is often necessary to insert a word after the copula. If the enthymeme which is the minor premise in this epicheirema stood alone, the implied major premise “Protein is not stored in the body” would normally be treated as an E proposition.
