yyyes. But then the FDA is there to smack people who make 
unsubstantiated claims when regarding the health effects of a particular 
product. The term "drug" is a technicality in this regard. As in, "So 
you say it acts like a drug, then? We'll just have to treat it like a drug"

What I wonder is why is there a loophole for anything marked as a 
"Dietary Supplement"
