Pomegranate juice has not been proven to be an effective treatment for cancer, heart disease or erectile dysfunction, US regulators said Monday, calling a company's ad claims deceptive.Should be easy for the morons who imagined that this c**p actually worked.
The US Federal Trade Commission's chief administrative law judge D. Michael Chappell ruled that the company, POM Wonderful LLC, violated federal law by making deceptive claims.
The judge ordered the company to stop making claims of health effects in the absence of "competent and reliable scientific evidence."
The judge said in a 345-page decision that there was "inadequate" evidence to back up the company's superfood claims.
Fitness Watch is your site for making sense of fitness advice.
"Truth" has a shelf life.
The shelf life of "truth" is very short in the domains of fitness, health and well-being.
The reason is that so much of what we are told is "true" is really baseless.
