90% of what is being posted about the Codex Alimentarius Commission
and vitamins is wild over-reaction to deliberate misinformation.

#1 - The standards of the Commission are for voluntary use by
governments and there is no obligation for governments to adopt them,
either as a member of the Commission or as a member of the World
Trade Organization. (Canada is both.)

#2 - The proposed code applies solely to countries that regulate
vitamins and minerals as food. In Canada, they are regulated as
Natural Health Products so the proposed Codex will not apply here
even as an advisory document.

My source for both these statements is the Minister of Health for
Canada, the Hon. Ujjal Dosanjh.

Why is the Minister of Health for Canada called "Hon." and not doctor?

ANSWER because they are politicians and more capable in making medical
decisions than doctors who have commercial affilications. You see
politicians don't have commercial affiliations that's why they are "Hon.".

Quoted message said:

I also note that the senior European Court judge has ruled that any
European country that does adopt the proposed standard as it stands
will be in violation of several EU statutes.

The world is not coming to an end.

Feel free to cross-post this.

Federal Cabinet Ministers are members of the Queen's Privy Council, a
life appointment. The initials "P.C.", denoting membership in the
Privy Council and the title "Honourable" are retained for life.

Could you post your verifiable link again.. this one
came out invisible on my screen. So far all Ive seen is a
bunch of nut cases trying to say the glorious drug companies
are a bunch of money grubbing thieves who lie about their
product testing and want to control the vitamin market in
order to drive prices out the roof...and preclude therapeutic
doses... limiting dosage to the established minimum over the
counter ...since suppliment and herb use been cutting deeply
into the need for their drugs. In the USA of course, the
worlds largest market, vitamins and others such are classed as
food suppliments.

No way in hell would the drug companies sneak CODEX in on
us all sweet and nice, with teeth... then gradually let the
teeth sink in as they discover that vitamin E is really a
killer vitamin after all and needs to be prescription only.

for our own protection of course... without CODEX I dont
know we could even live... please can you post your documented
link again...
