1. Until the claims are definitively proven,
no, I don't think the "cherry industry" or the people who process cherries into a pill should be able to make the claims when selling their products.

Is there something wrong here? Sounds like the FDA is actually doing its job, protecting us from being misled.

"If somebody is using a product that is unproven for health benefits, they may be forgoing other treatments that they would need," said Jennifer Thomas, consumer safety officer with the agency's Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition. "We're concerned that consumers not get the wrong message and use products that may not have the benefits they believe they would have."
