Stop weight loss claims in green coffee products.

Despite the opinion of FDA and the scientific opinion of EFSA (please see paragraph 3.3. "Contribution to the maintenance or achievement of a normal body weight ID 2031, 4326" in http://www.efsa.europa.eu/it/search/doc/2057.pdf ), each potential customer in the world, especially if overweight, is obsessed and deluded by the health claims from thousands of false hopes vendors:

- protection of DNA, proteins and lipids from oxidative damage,

- maintenance of normal blood glucose concentrations,

- contribution to the maintenance or achievement of a normal body weight,

- blood vessel and blood pressure reduction,

- and so on in hundreds of labels, advert. and websites in all languages.

SOME EXAMPLES OF STORY HIGHLIGHTS (please see more in http://edition.cnn.com/2014/06/17/health/senate-grills-dr-oz/

° Sen. Claire McCaskill says products give people "false hope"

° In May, the FTC sued the sellers of Green Coffee Beans for false claims

° Sen. Claire McCaskill, chairwoman of the Subcommittee on Consumer Protection, Product Safety and Insurance, led the panel that on Tuesday looked at false advertising for weight loss products.

°The Federal Trade Commission is in charge of protecting consumers from "unfair or deceptive advertising and marketing practices that raise health and safety concerns." In May, the FTC sued the sellers of Green Coffee Beans for deceiving consumers through fake news sites and invented health claims.

With this petition we can stop these false hopes to defenseless people as no expert in science inviting all the internationl Authorities to prosecute in each country with high penalties this bad media phenomenon. I'm passionate because for example we have never demanded absurd claims with patent Fitnesscoffee despite it contains 16 medicinal herbs.

Estimed Directors of FDA and EFSA,


I undersigned send send this petition for a law that stops all health claims, unless proven from in vivo studies, particularly those related to weight loss.


Yours sincerely,
