Subject: CRN CALLED PATHOLOGICAL LIARS RE CODEX OUTCOME- WHAT THEY'RE NOT
TELLING US & WHAT WE MUST DO

release from the Council for Responsible Nutrition which Mannatech is a
member of despite this being a total conflict of interest.

> Here is their latest grossly misleading press release in the aftermath of
the July 4th Codex meeting and IAHF's analysis of it, along with
instructions on what we must do to defend health freedom which CRN is hell
bent on DESTROYING:

>
> CODEX ALIMENTARIUS COMMISSION ADOPTS
> VITAMIN AND MINERAL FOOD SUPPLEMENT GUIDELINE
>
> -Consumers, Manufacturers Will Benefit-
>
> ROME, July 5, 2005 - The Codex Alimentarius Commission (CAC) yesterday
declared vitamin independence worldwide from arbitrarily-set standards for
supplement upper levels by approving and adopting the Vitamin and Mineral
Food Supplement Guideline during the meeting of the CAC in Rome.
>
> The result of a multi-year effort led in part by the Council for
Responsible Nutrition (CRN), one of the leading trade associations for the
dietary supplement industry, adoption of the guideline means the acceptance
of science as a rational approach, the freedom of trade for the industry,
and the increased freedom of choice for the public.
>
> The guideline specifies that maximum levels for vitamins and minerals in
supplement products in international trade are to be set on the basis of
safety evaluation through risk assessment, and not on the basis of
recommended dietary allowances (RDA). The population reference intakes
(PRI) and RDAs are based on nutritional need, and are not scientifically
valid for assessing safety and setting maximums.
>
> CRN's analysis is that the guideline should improve the international
market for U.S.-made products, and contrary to the notions of some
alarmists, the guideline cannot override DSHEA for U.S. domestic policy.
>
> CRN's Chair of the International Trade and Market Development Committee,
Mark LeDoux, noted, "What we now have is a pathway to expand global access
for consumers of dietary supplements that is predicated on science. Our
next steps will be to secure upper level guidelines that will assure safe
and adequate outcomes for consumers and that are determined in an open and
transparent process."
> ---------------------EXPOSE OF THE _LIES_ CONTAINED IN THIS EVIL PRESS
RELEASE:
>
> CRN would have us believe that the "risk assessment" being done by the
World Health Organization and CODEX is "scientific" and an "improvement" on
RDAs.
>
> What CRN is NOT TELLING YOU is that the so called "Safe Upper Levels"
generated by the US National Academy of Sciences aren't the END POINT for
this risk assessment, they're only a BEGINNING POINT.
>
> American manufacturers easily buy in to what they want to hear, and its
not hard for them to buy into the LIE thats being foisted off on them
because the National Academy of Sciences "SUL"s aren't much different from
what American companies are currently allowed to sell as far as vitamin
potencies go.
>
> SO..... WHAT _ISN'T_ CRN TELLING US?
>
> What CRN isn't telling us is that the fine print at Codex calls for these
"SUL"s to be further watered down by subtracting JUNK SCIENCE derived so
called "Nutrient Risk Factors" and additional JUNK SCIENCE DERIVED numbers
extrapolated from a mythical "Average Diet" that doesn't exist in real life.
>
> What they're not telling you is that ONLY the German Federal Institute of
Risk Assessment ("BfR" in German) has done the full MATH required by Codex
or that this entity is chaired by Dr.Rolf Grossklaus, the German Chair of
the Codex Committee on Nutrition and Foods for Special Dietary Uses (the
person in charge of "FILLING IN THE BLANKS" on allowable potencies for
vitamins and minerals this coming November when CCNFSDU meets next in Bonn,
Germany (!!!)
>
> Check it out: Grossklaus's "Maximum Safe Permitted Levels" are even LOWER
than RDAs in many cases:
http://www.alliance-natural-health.org/_Docs/ANHWebsiteDoc_145.doc
>
> The Alliance for Natural Health generated a White Paper which they
submitted to the World Health Organization which totally exposes the gross
LACK OF SCIENCE in what the WHO's "Nutrient Risk Assessment Project",
pointing out that WHO is only looking at the presumed "risks" posed by
dietary supplements, and they're NOT looking at BENEFITS at ALL (!!!)
>
> This White Paper has been signed off on by a slew of orthomolecular MDs
and preimminent industry nutritionists including Jeff Bland, PhD and many
others. You can read it for yourself at
> http://www.alliance-natural-health.org/_Docs/ANHWebsiteDoc_121.pdf
>
> Moreover, ANH has commissioned the Dutch based HAN Foundation to do a
PROPERLY SCIENTIFIC risk assessment of dietary supplements in a study
projected to take 8-9 months since its obvious that what the World Health
Organization is doing under the dubious "leadership" of FDA employee
Christine Lewis Taylor is not the least bit scientific or HONEST.
>
> See ANH's press release about the study they commissioned the HAN
Foundation to do here:
> http://www.alliance-natural-health.org/index.cfm?action=news&ID=174
>
> How is it that John Hathcock at CRN feels so comfortable LYING about all
of this?
> Simple: He used to work DIRECTLY ALONGSIDE Christine Taylor and Beth
Yetley when he used to work at FDA before moving over to the Pharma
Dominated CRN.
>
> As for his and LeDoux's LIES that Codex poses "no threat" to DSHEA, that
is absolute GARBAGE:
>
> Watch Kevin Miller's documentary film on this issue "We Become Silent" at
http://www.welltv.com
> Give it 5 minutes to load even if you have a broadband connection.
>
> Hathcock is trying to PRETEND that Globalization isn't happening, but he
KNOWS what the truth is.
>
> I called him up a couple of months ago and he is PRETENDING that
globalisation isn't happening in the form of CAFTA or the FTAA, but he knows
it is.
>
> For insight into his thinking, read Suzanne Harris's article: "Who Says
Whatever Happens at Codex Does Not Affect US Law and Why Do They Say
It"http://www.thelawloft.com/Freedom/050125_us_law.htm
>
> The National Health Federation, The Coalition For Health Freedom,
International Advocates for Health Freedom, The National Health Freedom
Coalition, and the Alliance for Natural Health have no reason to mislead
anyone, and we've been crawling over broken glass to bring out the TRUTH on
this issue.
>
> The TRUTH is that the USA is being set up for harmonization to Codex
standards via CAFTA, the FTAA and the WTO. Harmonization is proceeding in
our hemisphere in the same way that it has been in the EU for many years.
>
> WE MUST NOT ALLOW CAFTA AND CODEX TO OVERRIDE DSHEA
>
> The Central American Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA) Treaty will require the
U.S., a member of the World Trade Organization, to revise our food laws and
regulations based on Codex decisions. CAFTA would force harmonization of our
dietary supplements and regulations to international standards, overriding
the DSHEA Act of 1994.
>
>
> The Central American Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA) and the even-broader
Free Trade Agreement of the Americas (FTAA) are both modelled after the
North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). These agreements are typical
bureaucratic monstrosities of "managed" trade that masquerade as free trade
and would expand NAFTA to include first Central America and then the rest of
the Americas in an economic "union." True free trade would take a few pages
of written text to enact ("eliminate these barriers to trade and these
tariffs," etc.); all three of these agreements encompass thousands of pages
of bureaucratic textual garbage sprinkled liberally with rules, regulations,
and special-interest benefits.
>
>
> Buried in the language of CAFTA is Section 6 that would require of all its
members that they form a Sanitary and Phyto-Sanitary (SPS) committee for the
purpose of insuring ongoing harmonization under the terms of the SPS
Agreement in the World Trade Organization (WTO). You can find that text at
the following website:
>
>
>
http://www.ustr.gov/Trade_Agreements/Bilateral/CAFTA/CAFTA-DR_Final_Texts/Section_Index.html.
>
>
>
> If you then look at Article 3 of the WTO's SPS Agreement, you will read
the following words: "To harmonize sanitary and phytosanitary measures on as
wide a basis as possible, Members shall base their food safety measures on
international standards, guidelines or recommendations." (emphasis added)
And as you all know by now, Codex sets the international standards for food
safety including vitamins & minerals.
>
>
> So, CAFTA, which is set for a vote in the House of Representatives any
time after they reconvene July 11th, 2005, is another critical link by which
health-freedom haters hope to bypass the Dietary Supplement Health and
Education Act of 1994 and obligate the United States and Canada by treaty to
harmonize to the harshly restrictive Codex vitamin-and-mineral standards.
They cannot be allowed to succeed, and we at the NHF completely oppose these
two treaties that would put a knife in the back of our health freedoms.

> Dear Congressman______________________
>
>
> In 1994 vitamin consumers generated the largest volume of mail to Congress
on any issue in the HISTORY of Congress when we passed the Dietary
Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994.
>
>
> Today, CAFTA threatens to undo all of our hard work, and to set the USA up
for harmonization to an excessively restrictive global trade guideline for
vitamins and minerals just finalized on July 4th 2005 at the 28 General
Session of the UN's Codex Alimentarius Commission.
>
>
> The seeds of our health freedom destruction are sewn inside Section 6 of
CAFTA where members are forced to form a Sanitary-Phytosanitary Measures
(SPS) Committee for the purpose of insuring ONGOING HARMONIZATION of our
laws under the terms of the SPS Agreement in the WTO Trade Agreement. (See
http://www.ustr.gov/Trade_Agreements/Bilateral/CAFTA/CAFTA-DR_Final_Texts/Section_Index.html
>
>
> If you examine Article 3 of the WTO's SPS Agreement you will read the
following words: "To harmonize sanitary and phytosanitary measures on as
wide a basis as possible, members SHALL base their food safety measures on
international standards, guidelines or recommendations."
>
>
> (Codex sets the international standard for food safety, and they intend to
fill in the blanks on allowed potencies at levels even LOWER than RDAs- see
http://www.alliance-natural-health.org/_docs/ANHWebsiteDoc_145.doc
>
>
> Vitamin consumers drove many congressmen out of office who failed to vote
for DSHEA in '94.
> Any member of Congress who fails to heed our concerns about CAFTA and
votes for this unconstitutional trade agreement anyway, despite how it sets
us up for harmonization to Codex, and despite its continuing the failed
policies of NAFTA which gave us our present $617 Billion trade deficit risks
being driven from office. IAHF will be posting a list of any member of
Congress who ignores our concerns. We urge you to watch Kevin Miller's
excellent documentary on this issue at http://www.welltv.com
