FDA enforcement: It's about time

"Federal regulators have scolded the maker of Cheerios, saying the company made inappropriate claims about the popular cereal's ability to lower cholesterol and treat heart disease."

Let's hope the FDA gets back in the business of regulating false and misleading claims by diet, vitamin, supplement and health food salesmen.

None of these people - - not even Jennie McCarthy, Oprah or Kirstie Alley - - are doctors. They shouldn't be dispensing phony and unproven medical theory, no matter how well meaning.
