Title: FDA on Cheerios - Does it make sense?
Post by: Canadian_Family on May 13, 2009, 05:02:21 PM

I think this is ridiculous, if FDA is correct that means most food items such as milk, bread and all other food staples are medicine. e.g. milk claims to provide calcium and vitamin D to help in Osteoporosis, an Orange provides vitamin C to help relieve the symptoms of cold. What next, WATER, it helps in so many ways. Where would you draw the line.

The FDA is out of control. If we allow them to continue in this direction, nothing that is labeled "good for you" including all supplements, will be in danger.
