IMO this is just an extreme extension of the bs which has been peddled by multi national for ages (through celebrities no less). Have sugar laden cereals for breakfast, it helps in keeping your child active or this particular stuff has "added" or fortifies with minerals and vitamins. Or celebs endorsed cola brands.
What is happening now is that people, specially celebs, are realizing they that production assembly lines are now commoditized and advertising has become less and less problematic, thanks to twitter, Facebook and other social media outreach. So, they don't need a multi national brand like Nestle, Kellogs etc to peddle their stuff - there is no need for "Tom Brady" approved Cola or something. They can reach directly to their core audience.
- tcj_phx 9y agoBS is peddled by industries seeking to grow their business. Medical professionals are also susceptible to industry-sponsored BS-vendors: https://www.propublica.org/article/when-evidence-says-no-but-doctors-say-yes https://www.propublica.org/article/when-evidence-says-no-but... Oxycontin was supposedly non-habit forming. Decades ago DES was sold to prevent miscarriages, but actually caused them, and gave those women's daughters vaginal cancer. No one can actually be fully trusted, so people trust who they think is trust-able. I prefer the middle path... Consult with the professionals, but take their advice with plenty of salt [0].
