World Dictators of Vitamins

Guess Who is Going to Water Down Your Vitamins?

by Bill Sardi

Guess who is soon going to dictate the dosage of vitamins and minerals you can

purchase?

The U.S. Food & Drug Administration? Nope.

The National Institutes of Health? Nope.

The National Research Council/ National Academy of Sciences? Nope.

How about foreign dictocrats at the United Nations and the World Health

Organization?

Yep, and it's all being done under the name of free trade " harmonization, " in a

so-called attempt to preserve U.S. vitamin manufacturers sales to foreign

countries.

According to guidelines just released by the U.S. CODEX delegation, as part of

treaties under the General Agreements on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), which would

be binding upon all members of the World Trade Organization (WTO), foreign

" experts " would dictate to American companies the maximum amount of vitamins and

minerals that can be placed in food supplements.

Foreign manufacturers could challenge the WTO that more potent U.S.-made brands

represent unfair competition.

Since many foreign countries already restrict the dosage of vitamins and

minerals in food supplements, the new guidelines are likely to be used to water

down the dosage of U.S-made brands so that foreign companies can compete with

U.S. manufacturers.

Currently, many foreign travelers covet U.S.-made food supplements and bring

them back to their native lands because of their high quality and maximum

dosage.

This would all change under the guidelines just released by the U.S. CODEX

delegation (July 2002).

U.S. food supplement manufacturers would likely lose their prime position in the

world marketplace.

Oddly, CODEX claims its guidelines have been drafted to protect U.S.

manufacturers and consumers.
