Have you ever seen those ads that mention a seemingly impossible feat with an easy way to reach it? For example, a supplement that supposedly helps you lose weight in only a couple days. With 99% of people saying they lost weight within 10 days! This is known as 

Pseudoscience, we all obviously know what science is but what is pseudoscience. Pseudoscience is science disguised as being accurate or truthful but in reality it is lacking evidence or false. One major area we see pseudoscience appear is in advertising. An example being how the brand SENSA states it is clinically proven to assist the individual losing 30 pounds without working out. Simply by sprinkling the product on your food which sound outrageous. These were unfounded claims made by SENSA and they were ordered to pay 26.5 Million back to consumers. Pseudoscience is everywhere, and everyone at one point in their lives has fallen for it. Have you?

Pseudoscience has been used in many things like advertising for example dating back to the 90s, An example being how chesterfield cigarettes were advertised to not have any adverse effects on the individual smoking, when in reality the effects of smoking and universally known today. There was no proof showing that these cigarettes had no adverse affect on the user. This was common with many cigarette brands around the time as many were lying and proving claims that were unbacked or unsupported by science and were simply pseudoscience .
