Guest guest Posted October 13, 2002 Report Share Posted October 13, 2002 Codex Alimentarius (Food Code) Is this a threat to our continued access to nutritional supplements in the U.S.? Have you heard about Codex, but have no idea what it is or why you should even care? Codex Alimentarius is creating dozens of international trade standards. One of the most controversial documents is entitled CODEX PROPOSED DRAFT GUIDELINES FOR VITAMIN AND MINERAL SUPPLEMENTS <http://ahha.org/CodexGuidelines.htm> . Will this become a valuable data source for nutritional supplement information or a set of international restrictions with enough clout to empty the shelves of health food stores? This site is an attempt to simplify this very complex issue. Here you will find a wide variety of resources covering many points of view, plus a lot of questions that need answers. American Holistic Health Association's normal practice is to link you to existing Internet sites presenting important health-related resources and data. In the case of Codex we found sources very polarized and incomplete in presenting the whole situation. Therefore, we break with tradition and have created our own " Codex Information Site " at codexinfo.org. AHHA encourages you to use this information to do your own research, decide which position you wish to support, and take action! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
