Big Food Exploits Outdated Science to Make False Health Claims on Unhealthy Products

What was said

"This allows big food manufacturers to stick labels on foods that are blatantly unhealthy, contain 30% sugar, with a healthy label saying enhance or boosts your immune system when the science really doesn't back it up."

Tim Spector accused major food companies of using post-war deficiency research to justify adding trace amounts of zinc or other minerals to sugar-laden processed foods, then marketing them with immune-boosting health claims unsupported by modern science. He called for the practice to be stopped, stating it misleads consumers.
