FDA: NO TO FINALIZATION OF STANDARD FOR VITAMINS & MINERALS AT CODEX

 

Barbara O. Schneeman, Ph.D. US Chairman to Codex Alimentarius

Commission's Committee on Nutrition and Foods For Special Dietary

Uses

 

<Barbara.Schneeman, fax c/o Nancy Crane 301-436-2636

 

 

Dear Dr.Schneeman:

 

I oppose finalization of the standard for vitamins and minerals

which is agenda item #4 at the Codex Alimentarius Commission's

Committee on Nutrition and Foods for Special Dietary Uses and demand

that all work on finalizing this agenda item cease immediately.

 

 

 

Alan Gaby, MD had an article titled " Safe Upper Limits " for dietary

supplements, One Giant Step Backward published in the Journal of

Orthomolecular Medicine Volume 18 Third & Fourth Quarters, 2003

Numbers 3 & 4. See this article at http://www.iahf.com/20040127.html

 

 

The so called " Safe Upper Limits " approach at Codex currently

supported by the US FDA is RADICALLY INCONSISTENT with the will of

the American people as reflected in the Dietary Supplement Health

and Education Act of 1994, and isn't any more scientifically valid

than it would be to establish potency levels at RDA levels.

 

 

 

This is a DELIBERATE EFFORT by the FDA to create a global trade

standard for vitamins and minerals which would set the US up for

harmonization via our signing the SPS agreement, via the WTO, and

via harmonization coming through regional trading blocks such as the

FTAA.

 

 

 

This push to finalize a Codex vitamin standard based on (so

called) " Safe Upper Levels " does not reflect the will of the

American people, but rather, the will of The Council for Responsible

Nutrition a pharma dominated vitamin trade association whose

membership includes Bayer, BASF, Pfizer, Wyeth, and other

multinational giants who also favor the restrictive measures

inherent in the equally unscientific EU Food Supplement Directive.

 

 

 

If the FDA moves to finalize the Codex vitamin standard, FDA will be

in direct violation of current US law as reflected by the FDA

Modernization Act of 1997 Public Law 105-115, 111 Stat.2296 (1997)

Paragraphs 1-4 of section 803 c.

 

 

 

This amendment made it ILLEGAL for the FDA to take any action

intended to set the USA up for harmonization of its dietary

supplement laws to a restrictive international standard. I am

copying this to Congressman Dan Burton c/o Stephen Schatz fax 202-

225-0016 stephen.schatz and to my congressman and

Senators to demand Congressional Oversight if you fail to heed my

demand. Furthermore, I will not vote for any Congressman who favors

passage of the FTAA and have visited http://www.stoptheftaa.org to

check voting records re (so called) " free trade " .
