7 harsh facts behind winged advertisements

Have you noticed that most cosmetic products in your family are labeled 'tested' or 'recommended by doctors'? But behind those advertisements, how many percent are true?

The real monk shocked the ads behind

In a vast world of products made up of chemicals that people cannot live without today, it is almost impossible to trace the roots of the things you are daily loading into your body. Here are a few rather harsh facts behind the beautiful advertising words printed on the packaging of those products. Some phrases may be familiar to you, but have you understood correctly and sufficiently about them?

1. 'Clinically proven'

It seems that this product has undergone a lengthy testing process on people before being officially available on the market. However, this phrase is merely a description of the process of testing the product of 1 to millions of people by the manufacturer. Robert Lochhead's polymer science professor at the University of Southern Mississippi revealed, 'Clinically proven means a user tries on products and confirms products . without harm'.

2. 'SPF index' (in products not used for sun protection)

It sounds like your skin will be completely 'unconscious' under the bright sunshine of the sun thanks to the SPF index in this product? Wait, you seem to be a little subjective. The SPF index in non-sunscreen products is always very small, ranging from SPF 5 to 25. In essence, these numbers only function to protect that product from environmental impacts. outside, typical sunlight is very easy to damage or degrade the product.

Obviously they are not used to protect your skin. So, don't click your tongue to skip the step of applying extremely sunscreen hinges every time you leave the house, no matter how carefully you have your makeup afterwards.

3. 'Ingredients for acne treatment'

My face oil and acne will soon improve thanks to these special products? In fact, cosmetics that prevent and treat acne - whether more or less - will be listed in the pharmaceutical category. For what purpose? Simply to help regulatory agencies control more accurately and closely than other common cosmetics.

4. 'Speeding up whitening'

It looks like your teeth will immediately turn white and the smile will be radiant? In essence, toothpaste is also a pharmaceutical product because it contains a high content of sodium fluoride or stannous fluoride. These compounds have a major effect in preventing tooth decay. And white teeth? Currently, almost no chemicals are safe enough to be put into toothpaste in sufficient doses to whiten without damaging the enamel.

5. 'Recommended by doctors'

Is it true that all dermatologists in the world trust this product? Are the people wearing white shirts in those commercials really credible? With dandruff shampoo products - also a pharmaceutical product - this line is merely to verify if the irritation of the product is within the allowable limits. It is effective, then . it is good to know! Similarly, with antibacterial soap or toothpaste products, this mighty affirmation does not seem to have any weight.

6. 'Kill 99.9% of bacteria in 10 seconds'

Admit it, are TV commercials convincing? Be realistic: Usually, antibacterial soaps contain certain levels of triclosan (bactericidal compound). However, at this time, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has no evidence that triclosan in antibacterial soap has more benefits than regular soaps. Thus, saying antibacterial soap can help eliminate up to 99.9% compared to regular soap - recognized by an anonymous international testing institute - as in advertising is completely baseless.

Moreover, according to the expert, the conclusion of hand washing clean up bacteria in 10 seconds as advertising is extremely . anti-scientific. Because as the first lesson of the 'Health' series , the children were taught to wash their hands clean with soap for at least 1 minute, following the standards set by the Ministry of Health. Except for quick antiseptic with 70% alcohol or equivalent preparations, all soaps - including antibacterial soaps - are useless if not used properly. Not to mention washing your hands well, making bacteria adapt to antibacterial ingredients in soap, increasing resistance, making it difficult to treat infections. And basically, washing your hands cleanly when using antibacterial soap will harm consumers' health. Over the past 20 years, the number of products containing antibacterial chemicals has skyrocketed in the United States. As a result, three-quarters of the US population now has these chemicals in their urine.

7. 'Completely natural'

When you are too fed up with the pile of toxic chemicals from the products mentioned above, you will surely be relieved when you finally find a product that is closest to nature, thanks to this text on the packaging. .

But wait! Is that ' natural' or 'natural ' label that is credible? In fact, the word is to inform that this product has never experienced any chemical testing process. In addition, 'natural' products often have a short lifespan because there is no interference of preservative chemicals, so there is a risk of becoming an ideal environment for bacteria to thrive.

The US Department of Agriculture has recommended that this word should only be used for fresh egg or meat products. That means, inside that piece of meat there is no other marinated ingredient other than . meat. But think about it, is 100% meat safe enough? Will that meat come from a healthy herd of cows in the farm or from cows fed with . antibiotics?

Or another example, many snack or fast food products are often labeled 'Completely Natural' when manufacturers cleverly circumvent the law with the words ' no preservatives' or 'no odor-producing, color'. But in fact, everyone knows that those fried or fried snacks are absolutely no good for the multitude of trans fat that is extremely harmful to health. This is also the leading cause of cardiovascular disease, diabetes and even depression.
