Talk:Canadian health claims for food

[Untitled]
To whom this may concern, We are a group of Nutrition students from University of British Columbia, B.C., Canada. We are creating and editing this page for a 4th year class project until Dec 5 2009. This is a work in progress and we will be continuously adding new additional information. Please ask before adding, deleting or changing information on this page for the sake of our project. Thank you for understanding, Antonia, Cathy, Pamela, Hela

 * As reviewing administrator, I see no reason not to write an article in article space. But some people object tovery sketchyarticles, so I would strongly advise completing the article right away -- I added a template which should preserve it for a few days.  for related information see School and university projects and Schools FAQ  -- and    our guide to writing Wikipedia articles.

Thank you very much for helping us out. This is the first time any of us has written a Wikipedia article. We should have it completed as well as we can by mid-December. --Cathy —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.104.35.75 (talk) 04:35, 17 November 2009 (UTC)


 * No need for a "due date" nor is there one. It's just in the beginning it seemed like this was a personal gain article (refering to "We are creating and editing this page for a 4th year class project until Dec 5 2009.") rather than an actual article. But nonetheless the article has come a far way. Good job. ⊥m93  talk. 23:35, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

Poorly and in some cases incorrectly summarised, source material is now out of date
The existence of these guidelines and rules is interesting, and they may deserve their own page.

However this summary is full of errors, some of which completely change the meaning of the guidelines. For example:


 * [to claim the benefits] fruits shall contain no more than 0.5% alcohol is written here as "Additionally, the food cannot contain 0.5% alcohol or less."


 * "Non-fermentable carbohydrates in gums and hard candies can reduce dental caries" is not supported by the studies below - these seem to compare the regular consumption of candy containing sugar, with the sugar-free alternative.

Both of these are correctly stated in the linked official documents.

The linked pages are also flagged as no longer being updated. It is likely they have been superceded rather than removed, so there may be more current sources available. Thomasonline (talk) 07:45, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
