The answer to your question is the second choice: -Will make you thinner

Food labels CAN include things such as "Prevents..." or "Reduces risk of...", but if you look closely after those claims, there will be an asterisk "*", then the asterisk leads to them revealing that "these statements have not been approved by the...." meaning that they're not proven to be true.
