So it's fine to sell things that are known not to work as long as you don't claim they do?
"Prince Charles' company, Duchy Originals, has today been told by the Advertising Standards Authority to stop making misleading and untruthful claims in its advertising and to not make claims for its detox products that it cannot substantiate."

Sadly, it looks as if Le Canard Noir has little chance of being in the new year's honours list.
It's made the BBC's website as well: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8035072.stm

Be skeptical of the things you believe are false, but be very skeptical of the things you believe are true.
I'm glad they got a slap on the wrist.
I boycott their products, not for any meaningful protest (although I have informed them by email about it, but they don't care), but just because I feel more comfortable doing so. However, my mom bought a jar of their cranberry sauce with port over for Christmas lunch and I'm sorry to say it was flipping delicious.
I won't be buying it again, but damn them and their mixed output.

What alternative health practitioners might not tell you.
Waitrose already stock quite a lot of Duchy products. I've never bought any as they seem to be very expensive , even by Waitrose's standards. Though I expect they are good.
Charlie has a bit more money than me - he doesn't need any of mine.
