FDA Clarifies 47 Food Rumors
Since its launch in 2017, the General Authority for Food and Drug Administration in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has debunked 47 rumors related to medicines and food products. The most circulated of these rumors concern diabetes and cancer, with claims suggesting certain food or pharmaceutical classifications should be consumed or avoided because of supposed positive or negative effects on these diseases. However, the authority emphasizes that these claims lack scientific evidence and contradict established scientific facts. Among the rumors addressed were claims that ginger causes blood clots, paralysis, or increases the risk of inflammatory arthritis; that liquid cheese products lead to cancer; that canned tuna contains rotten fish or hydrogenated oils; that granite cookware can cause cancer; that low-fat foods are harmful; and that full-fat products are safer. The authority confirms that all these claims are false. It aims to provide accurate scientific information to consumers through its online platform, in order to combat rumors and reduce their negative impact on public health.
