I would for any product that honestly helped the environment, any food I acutely ate, any car I would drive (as long as it wasn't carelessly driving around), any service I would use....I think the theme is evident here.
Now, from a person in Media and having a degree as such let me again address the following. I just can't stand back and watch another illegitimate accusation be made about the media making illegitimate accusations. To my main field of study and career, this is hypocrisy. Hypocrisy is my biggest pet peeve.
Some may not like this, but the following information IS factual and can help - but I am probably on 5 ignore lists already so some...oh well, I would like to help. I really want to be helpful, and I do not mean to offend, but please read with an open mind.

I think there was also criticism of Sasha's ad because it claimed falsely that this salt water spray would cure or prevent colds.
That was part of what people were complaining about, yes MM, but totally unjustly.
Media is highly regulated not make false statements as such, particularly in "health." Listen carefully to the commercial and you will note that
it does not claim to "cure" but help prevent. As far as prevent,
anything that you use to clean / flush your body is a preventative to "germ " infestation. No false claim there.
There were
NO false claims made in the ad, just people falsely inturpriting.
It is good the adds aren't blindly trusted, but they are not making the statements some believe. that indicates there is also still a large populous out there that are getting duped. Eyes wide shut.
Again
nothing false in that commercial at all.
In making a commercial, it is taken into consideration the public isn't really paying very close attention most of the time. In this regard,
if you do so you have made yourself "prey." This is entirely the fault of the consumer for their own interpretation. This is called "Lack of consumer awareness." That is the fault of the consumer and not the responsibility of an advertisement to educate you in the first place - it is also the last place you should be trying to gain an education as well.
Reason I provided this information: media constantly gets a bad name even when it does follow the guidelines and provides honest information. And if consumers don't think that saline helps a body prevent infections by cleansing it naturally as possible, then again - consumer has either misinformed them selves or allowed themselves to be misinformed.
I may not be as verse as all of you in FS, but this is my "turf" of expertise.
