"Vitamins to be Banned Worldwide...
Opinion by Consumer Advocate Tim Bolen
Monday, July 4th, 2005
"Big Pharma" won a major victory in Rome, Italy today. Vitamins and minerals, for over-the-counter sale will be phased out, almost completely, in every country on Planet Earth. The "German Model" of health care will now be the law of the land - in every land.
Below is a press release from Diane Miller JD of the National Health Freedom Coalition, detailing the action. Diane is in Rome at the meeting.
Press Release - National Health Freedom Coalition: Codex Full Commission adopts Codex Guidelines for Vitamin and Mineral Food Supplements in final form July 4, 2005, Rome Italy. by Diane Miller JD.
Minutes ago the full Commission of Codex Alimentarius adopted in final form, the Codex Guidelines for Vitamin and Mineral Food Supplements. This adoption is the Step 8 adoption, the final stage of adoption for the international Codex guidelines. The Codex Vitamin and Mineral Food Supplements guidelines are now official and no longer in draft form.
The Commission, attended by over 85 of the 171 Codex countries, adopted the guidelines by consensus method. There was brief discussion before adoption taking in comments from a small number of countries and two NGOs."

Claim: American consumers risk losing their right to purchase and use vitamins, minerals, and dietary supplements.
Status: Multiple — see below:
In June 2005 the USA will be forced to accept Codex regulation of vitamins, minerals, and dietary supplements: False.
Bills proposing the regulation of dietary supplements are currently before Congress: Not any more.
I wish them luck with the supposed ban. Vitamins are found all over the place in my garden and in nature.
