One thing I have learnt in my years of life is that generally the more advertising a product has the worse it is for your health.
Another thing is that the companies that sell these products quite often try to pull a swifty on people, they use loopholes, celebrities and sports stars, bribe politicians, create false studies and articles to show the benefits of their product.
The marketing campaigns which you could call propaganda generally use all of the above tactics plus more especially if its a product that will be either addictive or a product that you will need to get use on a regular basis.
Many companies also own both sides of the pie as they know the junk product that they sell will cause side effects so they also try to offer the solution.
They also know the golden ticket is a life long consumer.
Lets say a product you use has long term side effect this is perfect for them as then they can offer you the band aid another product that you will need to use forever to stay well.
The problem is they never give the true solution as these solutions which there are thousands would make them lose you as a customer and that can never happen they will do everything they can to claw you in so they have you for life.
Is there any products lately that have had massive marketing pushes?
Ask yourself why? Remember any business that is on the share market has only one customer that they must keep happy and that is the share holders and all they care about is profit.
If side effects to the consumer will cost less than say making a product safe or ethical every single time they will go down the path of what costs less.
Here is a great example from The Soda Pop Board of America in the 1950's
- Promotes Active Lifestyle! - Boosts Personality! - Gives body essential sugars!
even to this day cola companies advertising is healthy looking people on beach being active having a great time nothing has changed the only thing that has is these companies are bigger and more powerful and their marketing (propaganda) budgets are huge.
Remember question everything, feel into your body, find your truth and back yourself.
Then and only then can you sense the bullshit brigade from afar.
