I think you yourself are already jumping to conclusions here!
Basically, marketing ploys are marketing ploys. It doesn't mean a
thing to make claims like "Research institutes recommend... " or
"Doctors highly recommend..." because hey, stuff like Vioxx and
Fen-Phen etc came 'highly recommended' by Physicians and what
happened in the end? People started dying off from adverse side
effects of Fen-Phen and Vioxx started to be associated with certain
aggravated cardiac conditions!
Besides, like elindra rightfully pointed out, they may only have
just three dentists endorsing it and they can go around claiming
that "DentistS recommend..." their products.
Product claims, even when backed by professionals, sometimes amount
to nada. If you're older than elindra, you should know better than
to be easily swindled by marketing ploys.
Have you tried certain supposedly ergonometrical pillows and what
not? A few of these products actually have the backing of some
chiropractic institution in the US and what-not... but if you were
to actually try the products, they might not live up to their
claims. 
Never take things at
face value.
You seem to be extremely scared of having your opinions
contradicted. Stay around long enough and you might realise that
here, we thrive on an exchange of opinions, sometimes, heated
exchanges happen, but we're in it for the intellectual stimulation
it gives us, and even if we voice opposition to someone's opinions,
it does not translate into something personal UNLESS the person is
a proven anal character! 
So, get used to facing differing opinions in here!
