Yup, according to yet another study, German researchers are suggesting that watching ads for over-the-counter pain relievers is actually causing non-specific, undiagnosed back pain. They found that people from the former East Germany, who did not have tv ads for OTC pain medications developed this pain after reunification of Germany and their exposure to the ads.
