Fox News article on the internet 23andMe to follow FDA order to halt genetic test sales: published December 06, 2013 by the Associated Press

"23andMe's saliva-based test kit, launched more than 5 years ago, claims to tell customers if they are at risk for more than 250 diseases and health conditions. The FDA says only medical tests that have been cleared by the government are permitted to make such claims."
       From Fox On Line News

Wow, one cannot make a claim to truth without government approval. Freedom of speech, thought, belief, assembly (like believers spending money on your product) all violated, but the press if free to report the government's position. Of course the press is free to disagree with the position, but then the government is free not to cooperate and divulge information easily.
