We present an interpretation of the current debate in the field of health claim regulation with respect to public health and standards of proof. Health claims are scientifically validated statements regarding the health benefits that a food may confer upon its consumers. We argue that the methodolog...

Health claims are scientifically validated statements regarding the health benefits that a food may confer upon its consumers. We argue that the methodological debates in health claim regulation conceal a very different debate, related to who takes the decisions about consumption of foods with health claims: individual consumers or (at least partially) regulators. Our analysis reveals two opposing stances: one which on our interpretation is compatible with libertarian paternalism, and the other focused on individual choice on the basis of "sound science". En este trabajo presentamos una interpretación de las controversias actuales relacionadas con la regulación de las declaraciones de salud. Estas son afirmaciones validadas científicamente respecto de los efectos positivos sobre la salud humana de un determinado alimento. Nuestro análisis identifica un debate subyacente a dichas controversias (incluidas las metodológicas) y que está relacionado con quién debe ser el actor más relevante en las decisiones: los consumidores o (por lo menos parcialmente) los reguladores. Interpretamos este debate como una contraposición entre una postura coherente con el paternalismo libertario y otra con la elección individual basada en la "buena ciencia". pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Teorema is the property of Teorema and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
