Als Warnung setze ich einen Artikel eines Pharmazeuten über den Zaun.

Inhalt: Homöopathen umgehen Gesetzesvorgaben, indem sie ihre sinnlosen Pillen als Nahrungsergänzungsmittel deklarieren.

Den Versuch, homöopathische Globuli als Bonbons zu deklarieren, gab auch schon. Was kommt als nächstes? Mundspülung? Oder als "Energydrink"? Ganz toll wäre die Deklarierung als Zucker.

The mother was furious – at the pharmacy for selling it, at the store staff for recommending it, and especially at the regulator, Health Canada. “How can they possibly permit this to be sold?” she asked me.
I had no explanation – but [...]
