Why this bluff?


Whenever we buy a can of soybean oil from a department store, we happen to confront a statement-- "100% cholesterol free". This 100% message is frequently being, telecast and advertised on mass media. I am extremely surprised. So far as we know, there is no cholesterol in the oil that is extracted from plants. Furthermore, cholesterol is not harmful for people of all ages. Spreading this wrong idea among the general people, they are taking undue advantages. They are deceiving people, instead of making them conscious.

To my utter dismay, I notice that the administration is playing the role of passive onlooker. How long shall we have to accept such misleading information?
