According to Mr. Sylver's testimony: "We manufacture pharmaceuticals........" So......would those guidelines apply? From the new FTC guidelines: II. APPLICATION OF FTC LAW TO DIETARY SUPPLEMENT ADVERTISING The FTC's truth-in-advertising law can be boiled down to two common-sense propositions: 1) advertising must be truthful and not misleading; and 2) before disseminating an ad, advertisers must have adequate substantiation for all objective product claims. A deceptive ad is one that contains a misrepresentation or omission that is likely to mislead consumers acting reasonably under the circumstances to their detriment. The FTC's substantiation standard is a flexible one that depends on many factors. When evaluating claims about the efficacy and safety of foods, dietary supplements and drugs, the FTC has typically applied a substantiation standard of competent and reliable scientific evidence. ftc.gov IMO AZNT does not have "adequate substantiation" for the claims that some of its products treat cancer and/or a variety of other ailments. So it seems to fall afoul of the FTC guidelines published today. In addition, pharmaceuticals, unlike dietary supplements, do require approval by FDA prior to their marketing in the U.S. Independent of Sylver's statement, the AZNT web site makes health claims regarding many of its products that place them in the pharmaceutical category. As noted in a prior post, if these claims should come to the attention of the FDA, a warning letter would likely be forthcoming. If AZNT did not comply with the warning letter, more severe measures by the FDA could be the next step. All of the above, other than the FTC text, JMO, of course.
