Evaluating health products is important so that you can make wise and informed
decisions when purchasing products. It equips you with the knowledge and skills to
make sure your choice will help maintain your health instead of harming you.

We will always be purchasing products all throughout our lives. Since products
are in many varieties, how do we make our choice? In this module, we will identify
common propaganda techniques used in advertisements, analyze ways to protect
ourselves from fraudulent products, and practice good decision- making skills in the
selection of health products.

Let us be reminded that there are health fraud scams - products that claim to
prevent, treat, or cure diseases or other health conditions, but are not proven safe and
effective for those uses. This is a waste of money and can lead to delays in getting
proper diagnosis and treatment or worse, it can also cause serious or even fatal
injuries.

So, we should always be wary and vigilant of these kinds of products.

At the end of the module, you should be able to:

- Identify common propaganda techniques used in advertisements.

DECIDE model.

the purchase will affect his/her health.

Protecting Yourself from Fraud Health Products.

As a wise consumer, it is our responsibility to evaluate the products we are

buying. The government also provide protection to its people from fraud health
products. They have established agencies to look after the products being sold in the
market and online. They are the DTI (Department of Trade and Industry), BFAD
(Bureau of Food and Drugs) etc.
As part of protection from fraud health products, always keep the official receipt,
because it contains important details of the seller and company. Ask help from your
parents and elder ones to assess you if ever you purchase fraud health products.
