Codex Action Alert - Support World Health

[Guest guest]

Protect the use of supplements!! This is NOT an urban legend.

Codex Action Alert - Support World Health

You might have heard rumors about the international rulemaking process

known as Codex Alimentarius, or " Food Code " . This July, food safety regulators

from all over the world will meet in Rome to decide upon global guidelines for

the vitamin and mineral trade.

Support world health. Support access to dietary supplements

Codex is a little-discussed process -- but one that is establishing the

world's regulatory model for vitamins, minerals, and eventually all dietary

supplements.

TAKE ACTION! Promote health choice worldwide. Tell the U.S. Codex

delegation and Congress to make our law, the Dietary Supplement Health and

Education Act (DSHEA), the international standard for dietary supplement trade.

As it stands today, the guidelines that the Codex Alimentarius commission

is proposing will treat nutrients like toxic chemicals rather than beneficial

nutrients, and, unlike U.S. law, will establish upper potency limits. Send a

letter today to postpone acceptance of the Codex guidelines until the following

issues are revisited: the role of dietary supplements in optimal health,

worldwide hunger and nutrition, and the appropriate science-based model for

nutrients. ( >>click here to learn more about Codex )

Take action today to support DSHEA as the international standard for the

dietary supplement trade.

The U.S. Congress passed DSHEA by unanimous consent with the support of

millions of Americans in order to protect our health choices. DSHEA is a safe

and sound model that works. The U.S. Codex delegation has a consumer and

Congressional mandate to acknowledge and defend the basic principles of DSHEA

and should labor to ensure that no trade-related barriers are erected between

consumers and safe, innovative, and effective dietary supplements.

It is crucial that you send your letter today. The commissions will be

meeting on July 4th-make sure your voice is heard before then!

While any change in U.S. law requires an act of Congress, it is important

that we act now to establish a model for international dietary supplement

regulation that protects consumers' health rights. Act now!

Send your letter today, and be sure to tell your friends about this

important issue!

Thank you again,

If you live in the US it will have little immediate effect but the comment

to put pressure to have DSHEA as a worldwide standard is a great idea.
