    Jeff...you are believing the propaganda... CODEX is the
    nastiest possible thing for consumers under cover of
    protecting them from a few unscrupulous vendors.... the down
    side is limiting vitamin E sales for one example to a few
    milligrams and making any meaningful therapeutic dose go
    through a physician at the cost of 200 dollars for capsusles
    we are paying 20 dollars for now.

    To push their cause in this case recently bogus information
    was released that has been uttterly unsuported that doses of
    vivtamin E over 400 mg a day is damaging... utter [censored]...
    doses of 3000 units of E a day has saved many lives, mine
    included when the doctors had had said there was nothing else
    they could do.

    it is NOT the job of government, of all the bogus
    institutions imaginable, to protect the people from
    errror...it is the peoples right to keep government from error
    and abuse.

    But I understand, your brainwashing to the contrary has you
    believing in government....

    In that case there is not much I can say to you except, hang
    in there son, as you age you see what a bogus bunch of slime
    bags comprise goverment and will morn the day that you ever
    supported anything like CODEX.

    CODEX is a drug company scam to capture the vitamin and
    suppliments market, then 10x the prices...its a simple as
    that... and the drug companies are spending billions brain
    washing the public that its to protect them.

    not much I can do if you are clueless enough to only read and
    reference thier propaganda.

    Jeff...you are believing the propaganda...

    And what about you? Do you believe or do you have any facts? Please
    tell me which dose of vit E used to cost USD 4 and now costs USD 200
    plus a doctor's visit in Germany. I happen to live in Germany and did
    not see any package of vit E which costs more than a few USD. It is
    still available in any drugstore and many supermarkets.

    BTW, consumers in Germany would be happy if they could receive a pack
    of vit E on prescripition (whatever it may cost) instead of paying USD
    4 for it. Due to the german health insurance system you never pay more
    than a fixed amount depending on package size, NOT depending on actual
    cost. Very few people in Germany pay themselves for their prescription
    drugs.

    Huh? He just explained to you that it is a dye, namely


    astaxanthin.

    didnt sound like dye to me... but an organic compound apart
    from what I consider to be a pure dye, inorganic in most
    cases.

    Dictionary (and general use): a dye is a coloring matter. period. It
    may be organic or inorganic, soluble or insoluble, natural or
    synthetic, toxic or not -- all of which are more or less independent
    of each other. Not surprisingly, it is common to use adjectives with
    "dye", to pin down what is meant.

    Is there any information on the toxicity of astaxanthin, both natural
    and synthetic forms??

    It is interesting how much coloring is added to foods to make them
    conform to our pre-conceptions!

    Another victim of the anti-Codex-propaganda or rather lies. Please
    show me a place in Germany (where I live) where they sell vit E pills
    for USD 200 and ask for a prescription. At least in low doses vit E
    pills are available in any major supermarket for a few USD (without
    prescription), and you can buy as many packages as you want.

    There has been no noticeable price lap for vitamine pills in Germany
    in the past few years.

    I am still waiting for a verification of the statements about the food
    supplement situation in Germany and the 'price rises' due to the
    implementation of Codex in Germany.

    Maybe the EU directive is a threat but your arguments will not get
    stronger if you are argueing with fiction, not facts.

    I am coming in late on this one (and have read most of the 26 replies) ...

    .... but it reminds me of a story that I read thirty or more years ago,
    AFAIK it was long before fish farming was carried out anywhere in Canada.

    A cannery in B.C. found that the white flesh (wild, of course) salmon that
    they canned were losing out to the canners of pink salmon - others of the
    several salmon sub-species that were fished off the B.C. coast in those
    days.

    Their sales boomed when they added the following statement to their
    product label:

    "Guaranteed not to turn pink in the can."

    I recall that the feed given to salmons contains grains which are

    grains and corn is not a natural food at all for salmons or any other
    fishes :-)
    But it is cheap for the fish farmer. So they give a damn and sell the
    fish as a prime source of omega-3 acids.

    And people believe that and omega-6 dependent diseases flourish and
    fish intake is blamed.

    Why? Vitamin C reduces blood pressure, cardiovascular disease mortality
    and all-cause mortality.

    for misuse of a doctor. Just go to your nearest shop and buy the pills
    yourself. If doses in each pill is too low, well, eat the amount of
    pills needed. Noone is checking if you buy a box of vit. C daily, or
    go to the pharmacist and buy 500 g of free ascorbate.
    But don't use the doctor to try to get a prescriptions he cannot write
    anyway because vit C is not regarded as medicine.

    The selenium level in Germany is a bit under average but there has
    never been a reported case of any disease that might have been caused
    by lack of selenium. Many people say that at least in Germany a
    selenium supplement is not necessary.

    As I reminds the soil in Germany most places are rather
    neutral/alkaline and relatively high in Se. In Scandinavia and England
    mean intake is now less than 50 ug daily except amongst people eating
    lot of fish. Earlier in Norway we used lot of US or Canadian wheat
    quite high in Se, now we use Se-free wheat (giving less than 1 ug pr
    kg) which give animals lots of problems so veterinarians has to give
    sheep and pigs a big dose of Se and vit E monthly.

    Same here. I would really look forward to get any drugs that must be
    used chronicly on a blue prescription (but I think it is not possible)

    If also green prescription would be free for paying after reaching an
    upper limit, I would love it. (free access to physical studios, free
    vegetables and lot of other healthy stuff).

    Can't you rather cite some government pages, rather than a consulting

    Farmed salmon is seen as an inferior product.
    Higher toxin loads and less omega 3 fatty acids.

    The oil tankers are doing their part to destroy
    the salmon fishery. The area around the Valdez
    tanker leak is still damaged contrary to what the AM
    radio prostitutes say.
