If your grandmother had osteoporosis, you could, too. Fight back with Actonel. Your grandmothere’s hump wasn’t a slump. IT was osteoporosis. Over time, with osteoporosis, multiple fractures of the spine can cause the bac to curve, but in severe cases, form a hump. Some risk factors for osteoporosis include Caucasian or Aisan race, family history, small frame or smoking.
“My grandma had osteoporosis” you think. “I’m Caucasian…and I smoked a while ago and have a small frame! I have osteoporosis! Oh no!”
Don’t get scared by ads – I know it’s pretty easy to get sucked into the realm of “what if’s” and “I must have’s”, but it’s a tried and true tactic in the advertising world: fear. We’re always worried when we get a funny pain in our stomach – it might be cancer! The next moment, we see an ad that lists the symptoms of stomach cancer and it says “funny pain in stomach is one of the greatest signs of stomach cancer,” and we flip. It’s a good and frequent tactic used in the advertising world, so be alert.
“I think my hair deserves to go beyond one-tone colour.”
Woo. Good for you.
Three pictures of women with spotless faces, creamy skin, shining smiles and silky, smooth, liquid-like, illustrious two-toned hair that’s flowing in the wind.
I’m special. And if I buy this product, I’ll look like these women.
Have you ever wondered about that? You see a picture of a woman with clear, moisteurized skin and below her is a chart of comparisons and “clinically-proven,” “studies show” and “doctors reccomend” comments. You automatically think that if you buy the product and use it you’ll look like the woman in the picture. Have you ever thought that there might be no connection?
There really isn’t. The advertisers are using these pictures to illustrate their product, not prove it. The woman in the picture was picked out of hundreds of women for her nearly-flawless skin and dazzling smile, and even after that she was rendered in a image-manipulating program to make sure all blemishes were gone and her skin looked the way the advertisers wanted it to. This isn’t the way you’ll look if you use their product. It’s the way they want to you to think you’ll look, and it works.
