Do you sell health products? Court opinion offers truth-in-advertising recap

    • Advertisers that sell health products should know the legal standards by now, but to those resistant to the message, a federal judge in California spelled them out again in a $2.2 million judgment against the marketers of two diabetes products – Diabetic Pack and Insulin Resistance Pack.
    • Wellness Support Network and co-owners Robert Held and Robyn Held marketed their products through their own website, on Amazon.com, and on eBay.  According to the FTC's complaint, ads for the products made impressive claims: New Diabetes Breakthrough
      Clinically Proven Natural Solution
      Have Normal Blood Sugar Levels Control Blood Sugar Level
      Clinically Proven Natural Solution
      To Diabetes With A 90% Success Rate The company made equally dramatic claims through consumer testimonials:  “Since I’ve been using the Diabetic Pack, I have lost 9 pounds, I have all kinds of energy and my sugar is down in the low 100s.  And I don’t have to take insulin anymore!” and “I threw all the medicines out the window and went a month with no medicine and just the Diabetic Pack supplements.  I leveled off in the 120 range.” But don’t just take our word for it, the company claimed: “A recent independent clinical trial was done on these herbal ingredients from this amazing product.  This study was done on type 2 diabetics (mildly insulin dependent) and reported an average drop of blood glucose levels of 31.9% and average weight loss of 4.8 pounds in just 30 days.”  How else did the defendants convey their representations?  The trial judge looked to their selection of keywords, metatag data, and Google Adword Campaigns.  Keywords included “diabetes control,” “cure for diabetes,” “natural diabetes cure,” and “diabetes treatment.” So what proof did the defendants have that their products delivered on those promises?  As the Court concluded, “It is undisputed that no scientific studies were ever conducted to establish the effectiveness of WSN’s Products.  Rather, Defendants’ claims about the Products are based on research studies addressing the benefits of the individual ingredients” in the packs.
    • However, the opinion went on to discuss the testimony of the FTC’s diabetes expert, who explained in detail “why the studies of these ingredients that have been conducted do not provide competent and reliable scientific evidence to support the therapeutic claims” the defendants made.  You’ll want to read the Order re Summary Judgment Motions for the details, but here’s a recap of some of the key findings.


    The Court’s final order includes a $2.2 million judgment and put provisions in place to protect consumers in the future. Interested in keeping your company’s ad claims within the law?  Refer to free resources on the Business Center’s Health Claims page.

Is ice cream really healthy? Here's what the evidence says

The article drew upon a 2018 doctoral thesis, which suggested that people with type 2 diabetes who consumed more ice cream had lower risks of heart disease.

Key Points: 
  • The article drew upon a 2018 doctoral thesis, which suggested that people with type 2 diabetes who consumed more ice cream had lower risks of heart disease.
  • The researchers found that those who ate ice cream no more than twice a week appeared to be 12% less likely to develop cardiovascular disease, compared to those who didn’t eat ice cream.
  • This would then make it appear that eating ice cream was linked with lower risk of cardiovascular disease, when the reverse was true.
  • To be able to test if ice cream has an effect on cardiovascular disease risk, it would probably need to go through a clinical trial, where one group ate ice cream as part of their diet and the other group ate a placebo for ice cream.

Can ice cream be healthy?

    • Surprisingly, there have not been a lot of studies that have looked at the specific effect of ice cream on health.
    • This makes it pretty likely that too much ice cream may have a negative effect on health.
    • However, more research will be needed to see whether ice cream may be associated with similar benefits because of it’s dairy fat content.
    • At the moment, we simply don’t have enough good quality evidence to suggest that ice cream definitely has any health benefits.

SAN JOSE, Calif., Nov. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- TDK Corporation (TSE: 6762) extends the SmartIndustrial™ line of robust and accurate motion sensors and announces the availability of InvenSense IIM-46234 and IIM-46230 new high-performance fault-tolerant inertial measurement units (IMU) targeted at navigation applications that require accurate, stable, and best-in-class bias instability at an affordable price. IIM-46234 and IIM-46230 are modules that include multiple 6-axis sensors, each of which can measure three dimensions of linear acceleration and three dimensions of rotational rate. The calibration of these devices over the full temperature range (-40 ºC to 85 ºC), guarantees best performance not typical in standard IMUs, which often have deteriorating performance as temperatures increase or decrease. It also provides stable measurements across all temperatures to minimize errors in position and angle for navigation applications. The modules also include a microcontroller that provides multiple options for communication and sensor fusion.

Key Points: 
  • 6-axis Industrial IMUs offer 1.9 deg/hr gyroscope bias instability, fault tolerance, and micro-second accurate time stamping features.
  • Hardware and software synergy enable industry-leading redundancy and early warning capabilities to avoid operational disruption.
  • It also provides stable measurements across all temperatures to minimize errors in position and angle for navigation applications.
  • We now provide a solution that combines performance and affordability for customers developing navigation systems for drones, industrial autonomous vehicles, and navigation units," said Camilo Delgado, Director of Product Marketing & Industrial Motion Sensor Business.
