Quebec Pharmacies Must Indicate That Homeopathy Products are Without Scientific Basis

here, reporting on a rather important precedent in terms of consumer rights and homeopathy nonsense:

"on the shelves of homeopathic treatments in Quebec pharmacies, small blue signs warn shoppers that what they are buying might not work at all. 'The effectiveness of homeopathic products is generally not supported by scientific evidence based on data,' the signs read [...]";

"Quebec’s College of Physicians publicly stated it does not recognize homeopathy as a valid treatment. That position is echoed by the Order of Pharmacists. 'Right now in scientific literature there’s no conclusive evidence that it works,' says president Bertrand Bolduc [...";

so there's much still to do in terms of consumer education and protection.
