NBC is about to report on that in just a few minutes.
LOL, next we will hear that tap water is a new drug.

 

[nitewriter]

Actually Quaker oats will be next. They are the "active ingredient" in Cheerios.

This just shows that the folks at the FDA have gone bonkers. Out of control.

Yes but could shoes with arch supports be considered "devices" under the FD&C Act requiring FDA approval.

 

[LaceyUnderall]

Wait. So let me get this straight... the FDA would prefer ding dongs to cheerios and analogs to ecigs?

Humm, tap water can be used to treat dehydration, so yes it is an illegal drug.

When they do and say things like this how can we take them seriously?

Sorry, you don't get off that easily. You'll have to suffer it out like the rest of us.

8-o Gawd, are they gonna take my coffee too?

This makes me want to market bottled water that, on the label, says:

PREVENTS SEVERE DEHYDRATION!
CURES MILD DEHYDRATION INSTANTLY!

They will if you enjoy it.

Ok... here are some interesting things I found regarding the clinical trial I would assume they would have to have in order to make such claims:

Hook, line, and cheerios: when labels and ads don't quite add up | Nutrition Action Healthletter | Find Articles at BNET

hmmm... sounds to me like someone is upset that Cheerios is cutting into their market share of products that might cut cholesterol. I know... I know...

Was just starting to read this book online. Looks interesting.
THE GREAT WHITE HOAX THE SUPPRESSED ... - Google Book Search
The supressed truth about Big Pharma

That shows us how to solve the whole personal vaporizer issue. The e-juice simply needs to be marketed as either food or better yet, cosmetics. As such, as long as no drug claims are made by the sellers, there is no need for FDA involvement. "Get your 901 for younger looking skin". "510's are a wholesome part of this complete breakfast!"
Well... if semantics are key, maybe it's that simple

8-o Gawd, are they gonna take my coffee too?

Yes, your coffee is next.

Then they will take flour, sugar, milk/cream, meat and all root vegetables.
