Is it just me, or has the term 'boosts the immune system' been thrown around a lot more in the past year or two on commercials (tv, radio and internet)?
FYI, the phrase has no medical or scientific meaning. An ad can claim that a product has been proven to boost the immune system without any useful studies as far as I understand, because the phrase is meaningless clinically.
