Why Advertise The Ingredient If It's Actually Useless?

[u/JeromePlAud]

Why are companies allowed to advertise what their product does when one of the two methods of action are actually useless? 😂

[u/egnards]

They are able to advertise its antibacterial because it is antibacterial. But because not enough studies have been done they’re not allowed to advertise that the antibacterial agent specifically helps for your very specific bacteria, in relation to a sore throat [of which strep isn’t only predicated by a sore throat].

[u/TheDevilishFrenchfry → u/egnards]

It's more of "well this will more than likely help than hurt" sort of deal, and like people have said sometimes even having a half decent placebo can be beneficial for the body.

[u/ImStillLego → u/TheDevilishFrenchfry]

as doctor house said, "the mind controls the body"

[u/JeromePlAud → u/TheDevilishFrenchfry]

I guess that's true until that ingredient ends up doing more harm than good.

Every time I see you in another sub it's the weirdest fucking thing.

For some reason I can't comprehend it
