What are the Health Impacts of Unregulated Advertising?
Unregulated advertising can contribute to the spread of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases. For instance, aggressive marketing of sugary beverages and fast foods has been linked to rising obesity rates. Similarly, advertisements for tobacco and alcohol can lead to increased consumption, which is associated with a multitude of health issues including cancer, liver disease, and respiratory problems.
