Hi, all, I figure at least some of you must also be into vitamins and/or health food, so I thought you might want to know about what Codex is up to in Berlin:
Codex meets next week in Berlin to continue their pharmaceutically backed plan to severely limit sales and potency of vitamins. Codex would like the manufacturer of all vitamins in the hands of pharmaceutical companies which would limit the potency and raise the prices of vitamins. Pharmaceutical companies have already been buying up vitamin companies in a trojan horse attempt to take over the industry. Additionally they have limited the sale of certain products like Red Yeast Rice by forcing the vitamin industry to remove any benefits from the product label and limiting any supporting ingredients i.e., garlic from the product. (Red Yeast Rice has been shown in research to lower cholestrol as well as any current drug with none of those annoying side effects) You can protest this with one click [editorial note from Walt: it's more than "one click", but it won't take more than a minute of your time] if you go to: http://www.vitamins-for-all.org/mainsites/usa/index.html For those who think vitamins and health food are a waste of time or an annoying interruption, my apologies. warmly, walt
