"And labelling laws are NOTHING TO DO with clinical testing! "

Correct, they are labelled as food products, ie an ingredients list and must be "safe" for human consumption and that's about it. They also have to be very careful about making medical claims without actual evidence and lots of "may" and "might" in the marketing etc.
