These influencers are in TROUBLE...(caught by the FTC)

[@bianca_bonami]

Holding influencers accountable is important, essential even. But is anyone holding the BRANDS accountable for it? 'Cause they're as guilty as the influencers, if not more

[@Wherethedeadwalk]

I don’t think anyone is holding the companies accountable. They are just as guilty for not enforcing it and making sure that the influencers are actually doing it when it gets posted

[@LilyBe3]

Exactly! Before the influencer post their videos the companies need to approve it first

[@Pandalf82]

I am glad that I don't live in a social media bubble and rely on influencers opinions on food and health. In Germany there is a heavy food regulation and is extremely monitored what goes to consumers. Many companies react quickly to health concerns and remove the products ASAP.

[@AllOfMyLoveTess]

THIS! The influencers are hired advertisers. The brands are signing off on this so it should be the focus.

Both the brands and influencer need to be held accountable and fined, they're all profiting off of hiding sponsorships.

[@fluffystraightjacket733]

I like that they list the influencers. Feels like public shaming

It’s nice to see some counter action. Because the influencers did this so publicly it feels very fitting that they release it so publicly. It’s nice to see the attempt at the correction, usually these things are hidden.

Probably gathering evidence honestly. I know target did this thing to one of their shoplifters where they gathered evidence over a pretty long period of time and then raised the case to make sure they could do something about a serial thief. FTC probably doing the same thing but since it's so pervasive and a lot of influencers/brands are doing it, it takes time for it to become a case. If they have a lot of evidence they can probably sue for significant damages.

Simply put: the fault should ALWAYS be on the liar, not the poor person who believed the lie. They are ultimately faultless.

“You could drink 12-14 diet drinks a day without risking your health” yeah she deserves the strictest response from the ftc

[@simmyloaf6427]

It was in response to the people claiming that aspartame is dangerous.... She was citing a peer reviewed study illustrating the significant amount of aspartame it would take to be even potentially dangerous. I seriously cannot believe the amount of people in this comment section backing the literal sugar lobbying narrative....

[@charliewright6273]

She's 100% right though. What she's stating is actually far below the factual number of how much aspartame you could drink per day before you started to see a negative effect. It isn't that she's wrong. It's that she didn't disclose the sponsorship to say that, which makes it seems shady and fake even though it's completely true. People get this idea that artificial sugar is bad and "real" sugar is better, because they baselessly think natural stuff is better. That's a really hard idea to combat with science, because the people who believe it didn't arrive at that conclusion based on science. The problem isn't actually the information that she gave, because she's 100% factually correct. And a lot of doctors and researchers have criticized the WHO's research process. The WHO is not infallible. It's just that she knew that no one would trust her if she said that a brand paid her to say it was safe, even though it is, so she ditched her ethics and his the sponsorship. Which isn't okay.

[@Heidihatesfrogs2647]

@@charliewright6273 I don’t know what the actual healthy limit is but recommending soda consumption or aspartame consumption in that amounts over social media is just crazy to me on it’s own, not even adding in that she was paid, and not even adding in that she didn’t disclose. Unless you’re in a patient relationship you shouldn’t be giving medical advice in my opinion

[@Etherealzyo]

Hopefully next year people will stop lying about things like this because not only does it ruin their reputation but also the company that made the product

[@someusername4129]

I think they will if they have consequences. A lot of it occurs because they personally perceive the actions as harmless and nothing happens to them personally for the behavior. But even if they are harmful, they tend to disclaim that it's just their opinion so they aren't responsible either. If there is literal regulation and consequences around it, the ones that don't stop on their own tend to be deterred by the consequences. I think Mikayla will never stop on her own because it makes her lots of money and she tends to be pretty morally bankrupt in this area. It will take her having a significant monetary/legal consequence for her to stop.

TikTok/YT Dietitian opinion here! I have never been paid jack and literally care about nothing other than the truth. There are a couple things I'd like to clarify about this situation: 1) The WHO and IARC do not have recommendations OR guidelines regarding aspartame. Therefore, there are no guidelines for dietitians to go against. 2) What is being mentioned in this video comes from a joint (The WHO and IARC) REPORT sharing results from their analysis of aspartame research. They reported, based on their findings, that aspartame may be "possibly carcinogenic to humans" based on limited evidence of low certainty. Usually when there is "limited evidence" or "low-certainty evidence" researchers state that more research is required, rather than making recommendations. This is because there isn't enough evidence for them to form a solid conclusion. This is exactly what the WHO and IARC researchers did. No guidelines...they just shared their findings and said, "more research needed." 2) The WHO still stated that aspartame is considered safe when consuming less than ~14 diet sodas/day. Ms. Grasso was quoting The WHO, so she was not incorrect with that statement. 3) The FDA, the WHO, Health Canada, and the European Food Safety Authority all state that aspartame is safe below the mentioned amounts. In fact, no health agency I know of says the opposite (though maybe I'm just not aware). So, Ms. Grasso was not wrong in that statement either. The only thing Ms. Grasso seems to be guilty of is not properly disclosing her sponsorships. To be clear, I'm not defending any dietitian, or anyone for that matter, who doesn't disclose paid partnerships. But I will defend people who are accurately reporting on the science being attacked by people who clearly do not understand science or nutrition (The FTC).

[@meljp1652]

It’s fine if a dietitian wants to support aspartame based on research but it’s not okay to promote it using exaggerated claims for an undisclosed sponsorship.
