Congratulations! Under your new policy, the following items are no longer classified as food:
bread
cookies
pizza
ramen
soda
muffins
burritos
In short, basically every item in the grocery store that isn't produce, meat, eggs, milk, or juice.
Basically because non of those items are basically food. They are processed so called food loaded with sodium & sugar.. Not one of those items do the body good.
Stay on the perimeter of the store & you will be better off for it.
Yeah, that's a lot simpler.
I buy very little on the inside shelves of a grocery store.
Why do you post on a site about the NFL when you have no intention of playing professional football?
No intention or not enough talent. Big difference.
Knowledge for the sake of knowledge is a perfectly legitimate pursuit. Furthermore, I specifically research pseudoscience so that if someone tries to take in one of my loved ones with a scam like these, I will be prepared to refute it.
You must have a ton of free time on your hand. To do something this in depth for just in case scenario
So instead, you would prefer to spend your hard-earned money on a product that will never be examined by the FDA at all. Check.
Burnt a couple of fingers today. As I was reaching for the chemically enhanced burn ointment designed to help with the stinging. My wife suggested I break off a piece of Aloe instead.
I adamantly told her that Aloe could not work, because the Gov has not told us it will.
She insisted I try it. With my eye rolling I broke off a piece of Aloe.
With such high doubt in my mind & to make her happy. I tried it. While rubbing the liquid that comes from the Aloe plant onto my burnt fingers telling myself the whole time this is ignorant & that no way would it possibly work since the Gov has not gave us its stamp of approval, the stinging slowly went away. Another well time placebo effect. Its amazing how many times a placebo effect can happen, even when you remind yourself how silly it is. Just amazing.
BTW. Why do you need to Gov. stamp of approval for everything you believe in or don't believe in? I've never met anyone who considers them self intelligent needing someone else to provide validity to their opinion.
Your problems with the pharmcos would all be resolved by disbanding the FDA and just turning a blind eye to the results.
What good is the FDA doing us. How many more drugs to they need to allow go through only to pull them off the shelves a Yr later because people are dying from using them. Also, how many more outbreaks of food bore illnesses in our food supply do you need before you realize how what a piss poor job the FDA is doing.
I'd be much happier if the FDA started doing what it was originally for. Consumer protection.
I'd actually say you're more like a customer at a restaurant insisting that because you really like lasagna, you know more about how to make it than a vegetarian chef.
.
If I've made it before & he hasn't then I would know more.
The difference between "placebo" and "proven effective" is that in clinical trials, they use double-blind testing specifically to eliminate the effects of a placebo. You will notice that purveyors of quackery like homeopathy will ALWAYS come out against the horrid unfairness of double-blind testing; this is because when you actually put them to the test, their products are statistically no better than doing nothing.
Once again. I have never once said their drugs do not work. I have said. Their drugs come with some major side effects.
You have already admitted that the body can heal itself, so why is it so hard for you to believe there
COULD be a natural way of helping your body heal itself?
It is not a reasonable excuse to dismiss currently supported facts, just because they might be disproven at some point in the future.
In any case, you've got the comparison wrong; you're talking about dismissing ideas that have support in the PRESENT with other ideas that have already conclusively failed in the PRESENT. The FUTURE is not particularly relevant.
All I'm saying take everything with a grain of salt.
Does a diet provide something besides nutrients?
Do you consider Fiber a nutrient?
You are confusing cause and effect.
If Cheerios actually did what General Mills was claiming, it would be classified as a drug, not a food. This is for almost exactly the same reason that Bayer cannot classify aspirin as a food; when you start doing clinical tests on the medicinal properties of your product, it ceases to be a food (eaten for sustenance) and is reclassified as a drug. The FDA has much more stringent requirements on drugs than on food.
Without such a policy, any company could evade the FDA's drug regulation by simply claiming that their product was a food, and not a drug.
It is unbiased.
How can you sit there & say its unbiased? You argued the point before SD started.
