They either can...or cannot...lower cholesterol.That must be determined by medical researchers.If medical researchers determine they do lower it the manufacturer should be able to make the claim.If not,they shouldn’t.Oats are *not* a “drug”.

Sunlight initiates Vitamin D production in the skin. Therefore, sunlight is a drug. Therefore, the FDA should regulate it.

And I suppose that the FDA also considers milk a drug if someone states that milk helps build strong bones.

The New Low-Cholesterol Diet: Nuts
Nuts aren’t just for holidays anymore.

Key nuts can help you lower cholesterol. Add nuts to your low-cholesterol diet.
By R. Morgan Griffin

WebMD Feature

Reviewed by Brunilda Nazario, MD

Nuts get a bad rap. A lot of people still see them as salty, fatty, and high calorie — a junk food deserving exile to the carts of vendors or the snack bowls of dingy, smoky bars.

But nutritionists say that certain nuts deserve an honored spot in the kitchen of every healthy eater (as long as you’re not allergic, of course.) Nuts have lots of protein, fiber, healthy monounsaturated fats, vitamins, nutrients, and antioxidants. And many studies have shown that nuts have powerful cholesterol-lowering effects.

The benefits were clear enough for the FDA in 2003 to issue a “qualified health claim” for peanuts and certain tree nuts — almonds, hazelnuts, pecans, some pine nuts, pistachios, and walnuts. The claim allows some nuts and foods made with them to carry this claim: “Eating a diet that includes one ounce of nuts daily can reduce your risk of heart disease.”

So it’s time to dust off your nutcrackers or pull the lid off a can of nuts. Taken in moderation, these nuts are good for you.......snipped

I’m concerned about the claims by the makers of Lucky Charms that it is “magically delicious”. I’ve found that its neither magical nor delicious. The National Consumer League and FDA should look into that too.

It looks like it should be easy to see who needs to get their budget cut. This entire department needs a realignment to the mission statement.

Cheerios are a drug, but Black Panthers with sticks at the polls are not interfering. Got it!

Hmmmm. I don’t think weed lowers cholesterol at all. Does this mean it’s not a drug anymore?

“Cheerios is a drug, the FDA says”

I know people who say they’re addicted to them, so maybe they are

>>Sunlight initiates Vitamin D production in the skin. Therefore, sunlight is a drug. Therefore, the FDA should regulate it.

Sunlight is also a major component to Global Warming/Cooling/Climate Change, so it is regulated by the EPA.

Sunlight also powers solar cells, so its regulated by the DoE.

This could very well be the start of the Civil War Between The Alphabet Agencies!

Dear FDA: prove that your interference in the market has been “safe and effective”. For example, what of the 70,000 people you have killed by not approving propranolol immediately? Who in your agency have been charged with their deaths?

And shouldn't Lay's Potato Chips be deemed an addictive drug? Hell, this could go on forever.
