    I've never trusted the FDA. They just take payouts to push the agenda of companies that are corrupt, through and through.

    It's a scam.

    You know they are sitting on cures for major diseases, but they won't post them because then the system will lose money for the treatments they sell.

    I have never had faith in the FDA or any federal agency overseeing the nation's food supply, for that matter.

    Most of what the federal government does flops with the exception of waging war and collecting taxes.
    These they do VERY well.

    "...the company stated that the omega-3 fatty acids found in walnuts have been shown to have certain health benefits, including reduced risk of heart disease and some types of cancer."

    That's a medical claim.

    It's a fact about Omega-3. Not a claim about walnuts.

    You aren't allowed to make certain medical claims without FDA approval. I don't see a problem with that.

    THIS - in short, walnuts are NOT drugs, but if you're going to say 'clinically proven to lower cholesterol' or 'clinically proven to help erectile dysfunction / hair growth / fingernail fungus / obesity / high blood pressure / etc' then the fda has a right and a RESPONSIBILITY to say "hey, wait a minute - that's not proven. Show us your evidence or take your super walnut juice off the market"

    would you prefer the alternative? People selling castor oil as "Tea party miracle tonic - guaranteed to cure absolutely anything you can thing of"

    Is the FDA perfect? absolutely not. but on this - they're doing the right thing, without a doubt.
