I have to say I agree with Tim. The hypocrisy of this is staggering. How can one justify allowing billions of dollars of ineffective homeopathic remedies and potentially dangerous "natural" medicines to remain on the market with no regulation whatsoever, while jumping all over 23andme and others who simply give people information about their genomes and make no claims or guarantees about what the information can be used for?
