Question

Select any two food advertisements. Examine the claims they make with respect to their health benefits. Compare these claims with their actual nutritional value.

Answer 1

Food companies that advertise their low fat products (eg low fat cheese, yogurt milk etc) are misleading the public since those foods actually contains large amounts of sugar/another alternate. Removing the fat from these foods causes them to taste horrible and to fix that, they have to add in a lot of harmful components.

Beverage companies selling diet soda as a healthy alternate to regular soda is also misleading. The artificial sweetners used instead of sugar in diet drinks are more harmful to the human body and a re devoid of nutritional content.

Hope that answers the question, have a great day!
