“Ginkgo Biloba Extract is used for several “PUPORTED”
benefits include supporting mental acuity, circulation, and eye
health, and for help in addressing age-related memory decline, ringing
in the ear and low mood.”

I’m not sure that this is a good example of advertising in the sense that 
you are trying to show.  On the face of it, it seems like a reasonable 
statement of facts to me.  It doesn't actually say that Ginkgo extract 
works for the things it is apparently sometimes used for.   I know what you 
mean though.  But I’ll bet you could find better examples of obfuscating 
scientific information with a promotional agenda.  Even examples that are 
more closely related to beekeeping.   Who knows, maybe even right here in 
the archives of this list.
