Going Like Sixty

Pink Patch has been banned from advertising on Facebook and other places on the web because of fraudulent claims. The Advertising Standards Agency (ASA) spoke up for thirteen year old girls everywhere when they busted Pink Patch for overstating their claims that pounds would just melt away by wearing their pink diet patch. Supposedly the herbs released would reduce cravings for food, thereby curbing the appetite.  According to the ASA, there was no evidence that the ingredients resulted in any weight loss. It also highlighted that some of the studies for the patch were carried out on animals, not humans, which is contrary to the ASA code.
Olivia Campbell, spokeswoman for the ASA, said: "The ad was irresponsible for promoting bad medical practice of losing a stone in two weeks and failed to provide persuasive scientific evidence to substantiate its claims."
