NDR - Interesting survey results on vitamins, minerals, supp

Post by BoxerTom »

Very interesting to see how many people have incorrect knowledge of governmental regulation and labeling. Also of note, yet not unexpected, was the very strong correlation between lack of education and misleading beliefs on the above topics. Scary, though, that approximately 40% of people with post-grad eduction are misinformed about these products!

I wonder if it's not so much as "misinformed" but rather the conscious choice they made. Advertising, non-regulation, pressures from those who "think" they are informed, all can put pressure on that person's choice, yet, they made that choice.

One can also make the choice to get informed, yes?! (what level of education does that take!)
