Evaluation
Sun addiction
an addiction to tanning and sun which can be as addictive as heroin and can cause deep lesions of the face and body that can be "fixed" by plastic sugery. people do this because they like tanning and are addicted to sun. it can be very dangerous to do this especially under the age of thirty-five. the ultra violet rays release endorpines which act the same way as drugs making you feel good. sun seeking behaviour is counted as a substance related disorder.
Diet Pills
Phentermine is an appitising pill which makes you moody and have mood swings and can give you herat pains and make you feel sick, give you headaches and make you pass out and other side effects.

Credits
Completing various tasks has taught me that some diets and fads have really bad effects and some have really good effects.
I think companies get people to try these fads by advertising what they want it to do not what it does and they also pay people to say certain things even if they are not true.
A better strategy for good health fads s to show the results of it and effects on people over a long term. They should also not just show its healthy to do it but give a variety of ways to do it and the exact diet.
