juliaoceania -> Banning Supplements By the WTO and "Codex Alimentarius " (4/24/2007 7:55:56 AM)
|
The WTO is planning on unifying the world's nutritional guidelines, toxicity guidelines for pollutants, and vitamin and herbal supplement guidelines. This google video is a lady who has quit her practice to try to stop this from happening. She is speaking to a group of nutritionalists about the research of what this unifying will mean for what we can buy and not buy under this trade agreement, and if our country is not compliant with what is called "codex" the WTO could impose huge fines.
There are several things being done to stop this from being implemented by 2009, and I am pretty confident that the American people are going to stand for their right to acquire real organic food, herbs and supplements, but it is something to be aware of.
Kinda goes with all the "banning" threads going on right now too[:D]. For those who worry about our national sovereignty, this is really shows how right you are.
