FDA, where walnuts are illegal drugs & tyranny replaces rationality
(by Life Extension, August 2011 edition): The FDA has determined that walnuts sold by Diamond Foods cannot be legally marketed because the walnuts “are not generally recognized as safe and effective” for the medical conditions referenced on Diamond Foods’s website.
According to the FDA, these walnuts were classified as “drugs” and the “unauthorized health claims” cause them to become “misbranded,” thus subjecting them to government “seizure or injunction.”
Diamond Foods capitulated and removed statements about the health benefits of walnuts from its website.
