Seen on a can of Blue Diamond almonds:

Scientific evidence suggests, but does not prove, that eating 1.5 ounces per day of most nuts, such as almonds, without increasing daily caloric intake, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol may reduce the risk of heart disease.

Translation: "If you're eating healthy, eating some of these will cause nothing worse to happen. We think."

Well, at least almonds can be *part* of such a diet, not a useless overcharge like Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs. But yeah, pretty weak.

Still stronger than the cosmetics industry with its creams that "may help to reduce the appearance of fine lines." Folks, if there's no such thing as evidence against a statement, it's not actually telling you anything. Wrinkle cream and intelligent design both benefit from ignorance of this concept.
