The Dumbest Health Claim of the Year award goes to Kellogg's for shipping boxes of Cocoa Krispies printed with large letters claiming that the sugary processed food cereal helps your child's "immunity." (http://www.naturalnews.com/027386_K...) They have since retracted the claim.
The Dumbest Denial of the Year award goes to SIGA Technologies which vehemently denied having anything to do with vaccines even though their own website boasted about their vaccine technologies (http://www.naturalnews.com/027483_S...).
