The statement that BEST describes the deficiencies of the original Pure Food and Drugs Act of 1906 is:
D There was no requirement to prove that a drug was effective in producing the cures that were claimed on its label.
This highlights a significant limitation of the act, as it focused on preventing adulteration and misbranding but did not establish any standards for the efficacy of the products.
