Experts slam weight loss teas promoted on social media
The trend of Hollywood celebrities promoting various detox teas and their associated health claims on social media has not gone down well with health and fitness professionals. Stars like Kylie Jenner and Kourtney Kardashian share images on Instagram promoting different brands of detox teas and are coming under fire for profiting from bogus treatments and false claims relating to detox. These blends usually contain trendy herbs and superfoods that have either been proven not to work or have not been proven to work. Experts also warn that the teas may be accompanied by dietary recommendations that may actually be counterproductive to the healthy lifestyle that many of the consumers are seeking. Finally, such under-the-radar promotion methods may make manufacturers less abiding to advertising standards relating to health claims.
