From "miracle cure" to "scientific breakthrough", there are so many products being sold to the public claiming to be heaven-sent health solutions. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) notes that a health product is not what it claims to be if it is promoted in a deceitful way- as being effective against a health condition or disease but with no scientific proof to back up these claims.
In its mission to help consumers be more vigilant and aware of these frauds, FDA offers some tip-offs to help identify rip-offs.
One product does it all. Be suspicious of products that claim to cure a wide range of diseases. A New York firm claimed its products marketed as dietary supplements could treat or cure senile dementia, brain atrophy, atherosclerosis, kidney dysfunction, gangrene, depression, osteoarthritis, dysuria, and lung, cervical and prostate cancer. In October 2012, at FDA's request, U.S. marshals seized these products.
