Write a little bit introductions about Dole company and focus on one product then research information to test the validity of claims on Dole products. Evaluate the evidence supporting a health claim.
Bust the Myth.
To research the validity of the product’s claims, Address the following questions.
– Is the health claim meaningful? Or is the claim so vague that is true of all food? E.g. did you know that FDA rules allow all food items to claim that they ”support the immune system”?
– Could the ingredients listed on the product possibly cause the claimed health benefits? Are these primary sources (original reports by the scientist) or secondary sources (reports about the science written by someone who did not do the research)?
– Can you find multiple sources for the core facts of the arguments that you found pro or contra the claim? Or can all arguments be traced back to one source?
– would you buy the product based on its claims? why or why not?
Summarize your findings in a brochure (300-500) words.
Make it look like a brochure that could be handed out at an information booth or posted on notice board.
