Kansans and Friends In Weight Loss

I Found this little quiz on the FTC’s website in their section about supplements. I missed one but considering I have been going to college I shouldn’t have missed any.

Take the following quiz to find out where you stack up.

If you want graded so to speak comment and leave me your answers. I have the master grading scale. I would provide the answers at the bottom like they do with the kiddy meals at restaurants and other things like cereal boxes and stuff, but I want you to really think about the answers and maybe seek out the knowledge yourself. There is empowerment in learning for yourself especially when it comes to your health.

Test Your Supplement Savvy

Advertised throughout the media, displayed in grocery stores and pharmacies, and promoted widely on the Internet, dietary supplements look like just another consumer product on the shelf. But are they? Take this quiz to find out how much you know about using dietary supplements safely.

1. A supplement labeled “natural” means that it also is:
   

   1. mild
   2. without any risk of side effects
   3. safe to use with other medications
   4. none of the above

2. Since dietary supplements are so easily available — and don’t require a doctor’s prescription — they are much safer than drug products and can be used to self-treat illnesses without a health professional’s advice or supervision.
   

   True or False

3. Testimonials in dietary supplement promotions give a good idea of the supplement’s benefits and safety because they’re based on firsthand accounts.
   

   True or False

4. Many supplements have proven health benefits.

   3. a supplement salesperson
   4. a friend who takes them
