I'm really loving all these niche laws in the UK compared to the US.
His previous video on lack of TV adverts in the UK just makes me think how better off the UK is in some consumer protection laws than the US.

and yet in the US companies are literally allowed to scam people and get away with it
See: Anyone who sells miracle cures.
UK is just, objectively better for consumers.
I really like that law. Sure, it's probably a bureaucratic hell for the pharmaceutical companies that actually sell legitimate medicine, but it sounds like it does a great job at eliminating snake oil salesmen
from the title I expected some weird "legislators brute-forcing doctors into not attempting to cure cancer" stuff but it was very sensibly laid out that you shouldn't make wild claims as a miracleworker without a doctor's backup. God the US could use more regulation on miracle nonsense
I'm reminded of something I saw a bit ago, apricot kernels being sold as a superfood because they can be described with all the fancy superfood buzzwords like vegan, gluten free, some vitamins present (that you could find elsewhere)

the picture on the front is a bowl of it, but beyond the warning that it's not for children, the label on the back says you should eat ~4 every other day and ease into eating more of it. The warning says not to eat more than 8 a day ever, because too much [i]will translate to cyanide poisoning[/i]. Yeah that's healthy
