 "The host did not ask if she was a paid spokesperson for slim fast. The host did not ask if she was being compensated in any way to endorse and push slim fast while disguising her opinions as a medical expert. The host said nothing.
I enquired further. This woman is paid huge amounts of money by slim fast to promote their program. This was on Fox news channel. This was not news; this was a commercial for the slim fast program. The problem is that it was disguised as news; it was fraudulent and misleading."- Kevin Trudeau, Natural Cures They Don't Want You to Know About (Get the book.) |
 "Whether we're talking about prescription drugs, cosmetics or products like slim fast, the mechanism is the same. People want to believe the story, whether or not it is true, and the more they believe it, the more they purchase these products. That's how brain spam works.
The role of advertising in brain spam
As you may already know, advertising plays a huge role in promoting the beliefs that support these mind hacks. Let's explore some of the ways in which advertising accomplishes this. What are the hidden messages of advertising?"- Mike Adams, Spam Filters for Your Brain (Get the book.) "That's why slim fast has been such a hugely successful product. It's sold in convenience stores like Wal-Mart, and it has achieved prominent positioning in those stores, even though no person in their right mind would describe this product as being an effective weight loss product. The mythology of cosmetics There's a similar mythology at work in the cosmetics industry (discussed in some detail in mind hack No. 10) that says appearance is everything. The mythology is that if I use these cosmetics, then I will be younger." - Mike Adams, Spam Filters for Your Brain (Get the book.) "Nestle Quik strawberry milk is primarily sugar, just like slim fast and Ensure. Nestle Quik products go to the trouble of claiming on the label that they are an outstanding source of calcium. That's because they have been enriched with calcium to provide a full day's supply of this mineral, according to RDA numbers. However, this distracts people from the true nature of the product, which is, again, primarily strawberry flavored sugar. Certainly, when you mix it with milk, it does provide some calcium." - Mike Adams, Spam Filters for Your Brain (Get the book.) "In fact, if you contact the makers of slim fast and ask them if this product is a weight-loss product, they will tell you it isn't. The company uses misdirection marketing to mischaracterize the true nature of the product and make people believe that it will help them lose weight." - Mike Adams, Spam Filters for Your Brain (Get the book.) |
 "I hardly have time for two slim fast peanut-butter bars, but at least I'll lose weight." (5 teaspoons of sugar for the bars, according to Dr. Appleton's Lick the Sugar Habit Sugar Counter)
¦ 10 a.m.: "I need a pick-me-up now, because this report is due in an hour! Maybe this Krispy Kreme glazed devil's food donut will give me the energy boost I need." (7.5 teaspoons for the donut)
Noon: "I'm wiped out, hungry, and I have such a headache. Think I'll get a cream soda and Snickers bar with my tuna sandwich. (About 12.25 teaspoons of sugar for the soda, 7."- Connie Bennett, C.H.H.C. with Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D., Sugar Shock!: How Sweets and Simple Carbs Can Derail Your Life-- and How YouCan Get Back on Track (Get the book.) |
| "This woman is paid huge amounts of money by slim fast to promote their program. This was on Fox news channel. This was not news; this was a commercial for the slim fast program. The problem is that it was disguised as news; it was fraudulent and misleading. This is why, when you read newspapers or magazines or listen to the news on radio and television, you can't trust the information. You have to remember, it's all money motivated. This is why you can believe my newsletter, my books, and my Web site. I have no financial interest. I am not doing this just for the money." - Kevin Trudeau, Natural Cures They Don't Want You to Know About (Get the book.) |
