Has the FDA lost its mind-again?

In the latest volley of the US Food and Drug Administration's bizarre

war on scientific freedom of speech, the FDA has sent a Warning Letter

to the president and CEO of Diamond Foods stating that the firm's

packages of shelled walnuts are " in violation of the Federal Food, Drug,

and Cosmetic Act. "

 

Why? As Bill Faloon, co-founder of the Life Extension Foundation,

explains in a powerful new investigative article, Diamond Foods, a

processor and distributor of nuts, dared to list some of the health

benefits of walnuts on its website. The FDA says that the walnuts are

being " promoted for conditions that cause them to be drugs because these

products are intended for use in the prevention, mitigation, and

treatment of disease. "

 

In other words, if you say that a food is healthy and may help protect

against heart disease, or ease arthritis or inflammation, your words

have magically changed that food into a drug, and that's illegal.

 

Life Extension magazine has published no fewer than fifty-seven articles

that describe the health benefits of walnuts, each article supported

with copious scientific references. Yet the FDA says the walnuts " are

not generally recognized as safe and effective, " that the manufacturer's

" unauthorized health claims " have caused the walnuts to become

" misbranded, " which makes them subject to government " seizure or

injunction " !
