Cherries are illegal drugs...

Cherries Are Illegal Drugs? - On October 17, 2005, the FDA sent warning letters to companies marketing cherry products. Many cherry growers were letting consumers know (on their web sites) about the scientific evidence for the health benefits of cherries. However, according to the FDA, by revealing this information, these companies were marketing cherries as a drug. As unapproved drugs, the cherries could be seized, and those who distributed the information could be sent to jail. The evidence for the health benefits of cherries was not in question. It just wasn't legal for the cherry growers to tell people about it.
