The Bad, the Bold and the Bogus: Food Industry Health Claims to Watch Out For

from Eco Salon. It is unfortunate that a society dedicated to the private pursuit of profit inevitably ends up with the chronic lies we are told about consumer products by those who sell them--the powerful mega-corporations.
...the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which is one of the government agencies in charge of regulating such claims, has signaled a greater willingness to regulate than under past administrations. As evidenced by the warning letters sent to industry. But it remains to be seen whether these letters will translate into actual regulation.
Yeah, like when hell freezes over. The mega-corporations are in charge of FDA.
