Health claims and the vote
May 31, 2012
Following the vote in Brussels in favour of the health claims list, MEP Marian Harkin commented: “Everybody knows that prunes keep you regular, but the EU Commission is not yet convinced. Cranberry juice is widely used in helping in the treatment of urinary infections, yet it got the thumbs-down. Many, many people use glucosamine to assist with joint health and mobility. It also got the thumbs-down, as did magnesium which can help to prevent cramps.”
