Hi Pete, This error appears to be consistent with the AdWords UI, which doesn't offer "Health" as an available interest to target. I'm working with the core engineers to determine the exact cause, but my guess is that we are pruning certain values from the list of verticals for topics that we don't track for users:
Google will not associate with a user's cookie any sensitive interest > categories, such as those based on race, religion, sexual orientation, > health, or sensitive financial categories and more. http://support.google.com/adwords/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=140188 Once I have more information I'll work on updating the verticals reference to clearly state which topics are available for user interest criteria.
