Attacks on your civil liberties will likely eventually affect your right to choose what foods you want to buy, the supplements you want to take, and the healing modalities you want to pursue to stay healthy
The FTC recently circumvented current law and made new ones, squashing free speech in the process, when it ruled that POM Wonderful had made disease claims on its product, and that “a double-blind random-controlled trial (RCT) is required for any “efficacy” claim, and two double blind RCTs for any claim that might seem to be related to a disease”. Double-blind RCT’s required for making disease claims is actually an FDA labeling standard for drugs—not food. It’s not for the FTC to demand a product provide such evidence
