FDA: Packaged Foods' Health Claims Make Them Drugs
Could the breakfast staple, Cheerios, be classified as a drug? That's what the Food and Drug Administration is claiming, based on the product's labeling that it's "clinically proven to help lower cholesterol."

The promotion has made me nostalgic and I can't help but think of the cereal I enjoyed as a child.
