    Like everything else in life, we have to dumb it down to the lowest common denominator. Seems like “buyer beware” will never come into its own. Companies know this and push the ad writing envelope. Nobody wants to do any research on their own. Our society needs to have its hand held on every decision as far as health is concerned.

While it certainly could happen that whatever action FDA eventually takes on this issue may trigger FTC to publish similar regulations or guidelines, that doesn’t necessarily follow.
