Accoring to a Xinhua article, 62% of TV health ads and 95% of all health adverstisements in newspapers are bogus or at least illegal. It's unbelievable what kind of infomercials you sometimes see here on TV, and even more unbelievable that people believe them. Who would believe that you can grow 5-10 cm taller by putting some expensive cream on your legs? Well, people seem to buy it, otherwise the ads would not be made.
