43. ďś False health benefit claims by Pom Wonderful that taking in pomegranate
juice reduces the risk of cancer. Product pushers have inflated the medical
benefits of their products to woo the self-conscious . For instance, here are
three recent examples of egregiously misleading health and fitness ads.
ďś Reebok's EasyTone Shoes: Reebok ran a series of ads on its easy tone
and RunTone shoes featuring lithe and toned models professing the
benefits of the footwear's special toning soles. It claimed that the muscles
would be toned upto 11 percent more than when you wear regular
sneakers. The LA Times reported that an FTC investigation found the only
thing that EasyTone shoes actually did was make it uncomfortable to walk.
As a result, Reebok was forced to refund more than $25 million in
purchases
44. ďś Airborne Herbal Supplement: The result of a second grade
teacher's research, the herbal supplement became a national
phenomenon after it appeared to finally provide the
cure/prevention for the common cold that science had yet to
figure out.
ďś Dannon Activia Yoghurt: In 2009, a federal judge found that
Dannon's claims that a daily serving of Activia would relieve
irregularity and help expedite the digestion process were
totally unsubstantiated. It turned out the company had been
charging a 30% premium on the "probiotic" yogurts over other
brands when in reality the contents in the cups were all the
same.
45. Looking at the amount of misleading advertisements that pervade
modern media, consumers should be wary any time they hear that
a product is "scientifically proven" to work. Unless the advertiser
specifically states that its claims have been validated by the FDA,
there's no reason to trust any purported medical benefits of any
piece of merchandise, whether it's shoes or cold medicine. Often,
these health and fitness products are just modern interpretations
of the snake oil that bankrupted early settlers in the Wild West.
