H03 I find this topic in particular fairly interesting because there are entire groups of people, especially in advertising, whose job it is to find ways with which to use scientific findings that are unrelated or negative to a product or view and state them in ways that seem positive to someone who would not know better. This makes it much harder to trust facts put in front of you without extensive scrutiny of the fine print and every last word's exact definition.
