In the current digital age, there are
many celebrities who take advantage 

00:00:06.691 --> 00:00:08.179 
of their reputation to bloom, 

00:00:08.559 --> 00:00:11.503 
even advertising the product
incorrectly, causing significant impacts 

00:00:11.503 --> 00:00:14.079 
on the health and trust of consumers.

00:00:18.579 --> 00:00:22.539

reputation to advertise the untruth of the product, 

00:00:22.659 --> 00:00:25.659 
especially products that have not
been certified for quality, 

00:00:25.979 --> 00:00:28.499
