According to a recent study, labels with broad message and ambiguous health claims may be misconstrued.
If you read the labels of different dietary supplements, you’ll probably notice that they list a wide variety of health advantages. Manufacturers are allowed to state that a supplement promotes, for instance, the health of the immune system or the brain.
The majority of these products have labels that suggest a health benefit for bodily organs, structures, and functions, but lack the scientific trial data to support their claimed effectiveness, according to a recent study that was published on August 23 in JAMA Cardiology.
Ann Marie Navar, MD, PhD, a cardiologist and epidemiologist at UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, is a coauthor of the study. “I worry as a cardiologist that patients may read a statement like ‘promotes heart health’ and infer incorrectly that the supplement has been shown to prevent heart disease,” she says. “I wouldn’t call any specific claim that we found’misinformation’ per se, but I think there is a lot of room for confusion.”
