Walnuts have been eaten by humans since the old stoneage and have never been found to be harmful to anyone. Even so, the FDA, which pretends to protect the public recently proclaimed that walnuts are an illegal drug. Moreover, I know of at least 50 published scientific studies that describe the health benefits of walnuts. None of this seems to matter to the bureaucrats at the FDA. You see there is a law on the books that was passed to protect big pharma from any competition from food or supplement manufacturers that says no health claims can be made no matter how much research has been done to prove health benefits of any product that is not a drug the FDA has passed judgement on. So because Diamond Foods has made some claims as to the health benefits of their walnuts, FDA says the walnuts are misbranded and "are not generally recognized as safe and effective." They are also "subject to seizure or injunction" by our government. Have you ever wondered why drugs are so expensive or why doctors always yank out their prescription pad to prescribe a costly powerful, and often dangerous drug when folks make a routine visit. No thought is ever given to cheaper more conservative alternatives because of the nonsense I have just described. FDA does not protect you. It actually protects the drug industry from real competition which deprives you of effective often cheaper alternatives and harms the economy by making healthcare more expensive. |
