The Ad Watchers

Time for a Health Claims Checkup?


Listen Later

Health-related advertising claims are held to a higher standard of proof than other claims.

In this episode, your hosts Annie and Eric dig into the weeds of National Advertising Division cases on GLP-1, claims that certain foods could “boost brain health,” performance claims like “live longer” and “jump higher,” and other drug and dietary supplement claims, including those targeted to creating a “calm mood” in children.
