The topic of health arouses more and more interest in the Italian people and many advertising media relate to it. The aim of this study was to evaluate the credibility of this kind of advertising. A questionnaire about the credibility of six claims concerning health was administered to 104 subjects, aged 18-61 years. Results showed that only some claims are considered credible. Older subjects showed greater confidence in the claims.
