[QUOTE="Drakkith, post: 5622303, member: 272035"] [B]FTC Issues Enforcement Policy Statement Regarding Marketing Claims for Over-the-Counter Homeopathic Drugs[/B] The U.S. FTC (Federal Trade Commission) dealt a possibly big blow to homeopathic companies a few days ago. After spending the last year or so reviewing their policies regarding homeopathic products, the FTC finally released a statement on November 15th. Here's the main article: [URL]https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/press-releases/2016/11/ftc-issues-enforcement-policy-statement-regarding-marketing[/URL] While this is absolutely good news, the new policies still provide a loophole of sorts: Basically this means that homeopathic products can continue to be sold with the appropriate labeling mentioned above. So in the end we're still relying on the consumer being scientifically literate enough to recognize a bad product if the label says, "There is no scientific evidence supporting the efficacy of this product." The FDA has also been reviewing their policies but has not yet released a statement. Another article on this: [URL]https://www.sciencebasedmedicine.org/ftc-homeopathy-win/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
