Discussion/Conclusion
- In the context of this study:
- Structure/function claims lead to equivalent beliefs as disease claims
- DSHEA disclaimer did not not effectively lower beliefs regarding FDA evaluation nor beliefs regarding product efficacy
- Scientific evidence disclaimers had no effect on consumer's scientific certainty score
- THUS: Claims and disclaimers appear to be ineffective in reaching consumer knowledge goals.
