"Please, FDA, can I have some nutrition?"

The FDA has effectively banned a naturally-occurring form of vitamin B6 called pyridoxamine by declaring it to be a drug, reports the American Association for Health Freedom. Responding to a petition filed by a drug company, the FDA declared pyridoxamine to be "a new drug."
Now, any nutritional supplements containing pyridoxamine will be considered adulterated and illegal by the FDA, which may raid vitamin companies and seize such products. See the history of FDA raids on vitamin companies here: http://www.naturalnews.com/021791.html
Pyridoxamine occurs naturally in fish, chicken and other foods (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitamin_B6), putting the FDA in the strange position of banning a substance from dietary supplements even though it is already present in the food supply.

Here you go: Vitamin B6
The previous link definitely lists them as two different compounds. From wikipedia:
“Pyridoxamine is one of the compounds composing vitamin B6, along with Pyridoxal and Pyridoxine. It is converted to the biologically active form pyridoxal 5-phosphate.”
You know, I’m really starting to buy into this whole Codex Alimentarius thing. I really think our “elected” officials truly are evil.
"Please, FDA, can I have some nutrition?"
You are now drug dependent as defined by the Federal Government.
Report to the camps for indoctrination.
Are you blind? This is just another power grab by the federal government.
“All existing vitamin supps are still as legal as they were last month, no?”
I’m not sure. A lot of posters are implying that they are not!
later
So they are outlawing something that your body requires a lot of???
This isn’t for our safety! This is so the drug companies can make a profit!
Good Lord, now the government is making me sound like a liberal. But it’s true!
I don’t think they are taking it out in foods, just in supplements.
Healthy people are bad for business...
I will not stand for the communists sapping my Purity of Essence! Right now I need a glass of distilled water!
Now I'm confused. If Soylent Green is people, what's Solent Green?
“I don’t think they are taking it out in foods, just in supplements.”
The foods on the list are fortified with B6 as the foods unsupplemented have NO nutritional value.
“If Soylent Green is people,what is Solent green?
To unconfuse you, Solent Green is bad spelling..:o)
Take some ghinko balboa and the confusion will go away. Or, is that ghinko baloba or Rocky Balboa? Soylent Green was/is a freaky movie, where soylent green is a pill made from people.
I’ll take one order of Rocky Bolboa...oops bad spelling again Balboa.
Ahhhh “fortified”, meaning added.
Good Lord, this is crazy.
What a load of horse dung!!!!! I’ve been expecting this, check out the list of items you can no longer purchase in Canada thanks to the WHO.. I KNEW when Obama took over our vitamins would be in danger, not only are we going to be limited in medical care we won’t even be able to take vitamins to stay healthy and out of their medical system.
not funny
