Pseudo-science in advertising

Recommended Posts

BFD.

I don't buy the OJ with the added calcium b/c I know I have enough already. More importantly, it tastes funny.

But the average Jane? She could use some calcium in her OJ. Ball and Nestle' seemed to agree (by your link anyways) that if the body gets excess of those particular vitamins, it won't do any harm, just be excreted. Most people don't have a healthy diet, much less enough vitamins.

So who's really cutting through the BS?

I've discovered advertising, for me, is nothing more than branding. I don't use any of the products or brands listed in any of my favorite commercials (I linked to some in my "post your favorite commercial" thread.:)
Having said all that, I see both sides of the coin on the advertising issue. So, I'm happy there are some scientists having fun in their pastime.:)

Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

Unfortunately, bullshit is thousands of times more powerful that the truth.:|

Skydivers don't knock on Death's door. They ring the bell and runaway... It really pisses him off.
