As unbelievable as it sounds, current law makes it illegal for food producers to share certain types of scientific information with you.
So when Diamond Food relayed health information about the omega-3 fats in walnuts on product packaging and also on their Web site, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) attacked.
Even though the information was entirely true, and backed by peer-reviewed scientific research.

If a Food Can Prevent a Disease, it Must be a Drug

This is the backward thinking that goes on at the FDA, where regulations currently prohibit manufacturers of dietary supplements or producers of food from referring to any scientific study documenting the potential effect of the substance on a health condition, punishable by large fines and even jail.
Disclosure about the benefits of a dietary supplement or food, no matter how credible, places the food in the category of an "unapproved drug."
In other words, if a product makes a medical claim, it's automatically classified as a drug.
This is how the FDA got away with sending Diamond Food a warning letter¹, stating:

"… we have determined that your walnut products are promoted for conditions that cause them to be drugs because these products are intended for use in the prevention, mitigation, and treatment of disease.

The following are examples of the claims made on your firm's website under the heading of a web page stating "OMEGA-3s... Every time you munch a few walnuts, you're doing your body a big favor … "

These claims are backed by science², but it doesn't matter under FDA rules, which are so counter to rationality and logic that it boggles the mind.

 Wow.  How true.
Today's world, more than ever before, is a world where critical thinking is a survival necessity.  yet our ability to do so is not only not developed and exercised - but the opposite!  The curriculum I've been fortunate enough to discover and hone my own abilities to be discerning, is so comprehensive, with such integrity, it's a monument of human achievement.  Years ago, a colleague who was head of SUNY Albany Chemistry Department described it perfectly, in my opinion:  Pristine.  The trademarked name of this technology is Rational Inquiry - again, a perfect description.  An extraordinary human, Keith Raniere, is the source of this scientific discovery.  It has influenced my life more than any other single thing, other than being born.  No exaggeration.  Forever indebted and eternally grateful for the benefits I enjoy daily, I spend much of my time doing what I can to somehow use the tools as a small tribute for what I'm enjoying.
