GUEST,Rustic Rebel BS: codax alimentarius-limits on vitamins (18) BS: Codax Alimentarius-limits on vitamins 28 Mar 05


I would like to make you all aware of this or discuss this issue on Codax Alimentarius.
The codex committee on nutrition and foods for special dietary needs (CCNFSDU) are making the guidelines for the usage of vitamins and mineral supplements. This has been an ongoing thing for years. Last fall the guidelines were put into place. What could happen is the regulating of vitamins and minerals that we can buy in an over-the-counter form.
Apparently what is happening is the CCNFSDU will make this a law that, because of the World Trade Organization(WTO), everyone will have to follow these guidelines.
My fear and my question is, will this become a beginning to regulating our health food stores and herbs also?
From what I have read, even vitamin C is on the list because taken in higher doses causes diarrhea. Please give me a break! It does do this, but has anyone heard of the vitamin C flush?
I look at this as another corporate take-over from the big drug companies.

I found American Holistic Health Association (AHHA) to be an enlightening place to check this out.
Anybody want to discuss?
