  The purchase of the new edition of Cosmopolitan, I began to quickly browse all the pages, looking at our new summer clothes, the more spicy gossip celebrity and the most up-to-date health advice. But while skimming the pages, I found an ad for weightloss product Hydroxycut. If any other reader of the magazine, whether the announcement would probably have failed to think nothing of it or even consider purchasing such a way that could see how the thin girl and crop the image. However, I remembered a very recent press release issued by the FDA on May 1. The statement issued by the FDA placed a full withdrawal from all Hydroxycut products due to its direct link with liver damage that has caused at least one death so far. So why then was a full-page ad promoting a product Hydroxycut miracle stuck in Cosmopolitan (a self-proclaimed health magazine for women)? Not to mention the ad was next to a page with advice on women's physical health.This is just one recent example of unhealthy ads in women's magazines of health. In a sense, these ads are subliminal messages and selling millions of copies each year, Cosmopolitan is the biggest offender. Male readers who are reading the scoop on celebrity hottie in the new Star Trek movie also unconsciously, looking at the ads weightloss dangerous products, alcohol, and once a time when cigarettes. First picked Cosmopolitan when she was 16. Of course, one could argue that this age is too young to be reading a magazine with sexual themes in it. But the reality is that most of Cosmopolitan readers are under 21 years. When I opened the first of Cosmopolitan magazine, I saw an ad for Virginia Slim cigarettes. The woman in the ad seemed to luxury, slim, well dressed and healthy. It was not until recently that Cosmopolitan removed these cigarette ads due to complaints from health organizations and women's health companies, the same as Cosmopolitan have your health from.Even although cigarette ads are gone and will not return, Cosmopolitan is still not off the hook. Every month we give a lot of space on the page of alcoholic beverage brands to promote their products. For normal readers, do not look like much. But keep in mind that most readers of Cosmopolitan is under 21. The CDC has publicly acknowledged the fact that consumption of alcohol under 21 years is particularly harmful to brain development, why is cosmopolitan help the markets for alcohol to minors. Interestingly, alcohol ads are often items true story about the dangers of drinking games, alcohol-induced rape, and fatal alcohol poisoning. Some might call irony. Others might call it money.With the promotion of cigarettes, alcohol and unsafe products weightloss, it is clear that health magazines like Cosmopolitan are only pretending to be interested in the health and safety of women. Their only concern is money. With Hydroxycut remember that occurs on May 1, Cosmopolitan could have had the ad removed from its latest issue. But why not? Why choose instead to place an ad for a product that can cause liver damage and death alongside an article on health? It's all about money. Companies pay thousands of dollars to place their ads Cosmopolitan products in their magazines or their websites. By eliminating the announcement Hydroxycut, Cosmopolitan would have had to return a good chunk of change. And why do it? There is a clear moral of this story. We as consumers have to think about what exactly you are buying and we are taking our money. Companies and brands that do not have our interests, health and safety in mind, do not deserve our money. From now on, I'll be jumping out in Cosmopolitan magazine and hitting magazines and websites that truly care about their consumers.Source: "Dietary supplement Hydroxycut can cause kidney failure and other serious health problems. www.prweb.com/releases/2009/05/prweb2396204.htm
