People want to buy them and we live in a free country.

Unless we want to make people accountable for running their own sophisticated clinical studies for every single product we buy, we should probably have some rules in place around false claims and false advertising.

We have those rules about how homeopathic "medicine" can be labeled.

At the end of the day, people are allowed to buy dumb shit. 50% of my local CVS is make-up, which is way more egregious than echinacea root extract.

Yes but it’s clearly not good enough

Maybe we should also have some rules around false claims and false advertising around food in general. I think this causes more damage than homeopathic stuff ever can do.
