NOW IN BLACK AMERICAN SLANG

Fake Science Tryna Push Wellness? Don’t Get Played

Hey there, y’all, let’s break down what’s going down in the world of health and marketing. Everywhere you look, folks are being hit with products that claim to do all kinds of good stuff for your health. 🍶😲

You stroll down the drink section, and you see all these “prebiotic” drinks talking about they “boost gut health.” In the beauty spots, there’s all this “medical-grade” stuff, “probiotic” face things, and “skin detoxing” treatments. And don’t get me started on the supplements; they’re all about “immunity boost,” “hormone balance,” and “energy enhancement.” 🧴💪

People have been using words that sound like science to sell things for as long as anyone can remember. But now? It’s all over the place, says Timothy Caulfield, a cat who studies this stuff. He calls it “scienceploitation.” 🧪🛍️

Scienceploitation All Over the Place 👀

This ain’t no small-time game, it’s happening everywhere: search results, social media, even influencers. People are getting mixed up as companies act like they got the health game on lock. A study in 2021 even said people who believe in science are more likely to fall for this fake talk. 🧩💼

Last December, the big shots in charge made some new rules for these health products, telling companies they gotta back up their talk with real evidence. But the experts are saying, don’t hold your breath, ’cause ain’t enough money to watch every company out there. 🚀📝

“There are just too many brands,” says this scientist named Kevin Klatt.

Watch Out Now 🧐

Too Many Ingredients

They got everything and the kitchen sink in there, like adaptogens and charcoal, even in cookies and toothpaste. And they’re playing games with stuff that should work. 😵🍪

Words Like “Boosts” and “Supports”

They’re throwing around words like “aids,” “promotes,” “supports,” all these feel-good words, but what do they mean? Ain’t nobody can measure “support.” 🤔🎭

Supplement companies love these words, but then they tell you, fine print, “is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.” 🌡️💊

Studies That Don’t Add Up

They might show you some studies, but those studies might not even be about their product. Some might just be messing around with facts. My man Nick Tiller says it could all be “cherry-picked.” 🍒🔍

How to Check What’s Real

If you wanna know what’s up, search the product with “review,” “complaint” or “scam.” Or see what big-time health places like the National Institutes of Health or C.D.C. say. 🌐🔎

You see something about high blood pressure, check out what the heart doctors at the American Heart Association or American College of Cardiology say. 😷🩺

And remember, if something’s promising you the world overnight, don’t buy it. Dr. Klatt’s wise words: “Anything that sounds too good to be true is probably too good to be true.” 🚀❌

So, keep it real and don’t let these smooth talkers play you with fake science. Trust what you know, and check it out before you spend your hard-earned cash. 🧠💰

Don’t get caught up in the big words. Your health is gold, so don’t let ’em sell you on something that ain’t right. That’s the real talk! 🚨🛒

NOW IN ENGLISH

The Deception of Fake Science in Marketing Wellness Products: Don’t Be Fooled

Ladies and gentlemen, today we turn our attention to an issue pervading the market. All around, products are being advertised with flashy claims of health benefits. 🍶😲

In the beverage shop, you may find drinks labeled with “prebiotic” properties that claim to “boost gut health.” In beauty stores, items like “medical-grade” serums, “probiotic” face creams, and “skin detoxing” treatments are touted. And in the supplement section, promises of “immunity boost,” “hormone balance,” and “energy enhancement” abound. 🧴💪

Marketers well-versed in the game have been using scientific-sounding language to sell products for ages. But it’s happening more frequently now, says Timothy Caulfield, a researcher in health law and policy. He refers to this trend as “scienceploitation.” 🧪🛍️

Scienceploitation Is Everywhere You Look 👀

This phenomenon is growing and is now found in search results, social media, and even among influencers. People are confused as companies strive to present themselves as healthy. A 2021 study even showed that people who trust science are more likely to spread false claims containing scientific jargon than others. 🧩💼

In December, the Federal Trade Commission revised guidelines for health-related products, insisting that companies support their health claims with solid research. But experts say proper monitoring of how companies market their products can only happen with significant funding. 🚀📝

“There are just too many brands,” says Kevin Klatt, an assistant research scientist in nutrition sciences and toxicology.

What to Watch Out For 🧐

Overloaded Ingredient Lists

Companies often try to capitalize on trends like adaptogens and activated charcoal, listed on items including cookie packaging and toothpaste tubes. Even well-known effective ingredients can be manipulated. 😵🍪

Vague Terms Like “Boosts” and “Supports”

Manufacturers use ambiguous words like “aids,” “promotes,” “supports,” and others to suggest positive health outcomes. The problem is that these terms are not quantifiable, like “support.” 🤔🎭

Supplement companies, in particular, rely on these words. But often, there’s a small disclaimer on the bottle saying the product “is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.” 🌡️💊

Questionable Studies

Wellness brands may include links to studies that have nothing to do with the product. Some are just summaries of preliminary data. Nick Tiller, a senior researcher, says these could be “cherry-picked.” 🍒🔍

How to Check Claims

If you want to verify a product, try searching its name along with “review,” “complaint” or “scam.” You can also check what professional associations and health organizations like the National Institutes of Health or C.D.C. have to say about it. 🌐🔎

If an herbal supplement claims to treat high blood pressure, you may check what the American Heart Association or American College of Cardiology have said about it. 😷🩺

And remember, no single ingredient can change your health overnight. If a product were truly a cure-all, every medical organization would endorse it. Dr. Klatt says, “Anything that sounds too good to be true is probably too good to be true.” 🚀❌

So, keep your eyes open in the market and don’t be fooled by fake science. Trust what you know and carefully check products before spending your hard-earned money. 🧠💰

Don’t be dazzled by complex terminology. Your health is your wealth, so don’t let anyone use fake science to sell you something ineffective. That’s the story! 🚨🛒
