The Codex must be stopped

From this very good article:

The United Nations World Health Organization is attempting to make the Codex Alimentarious effective in every country. It has been initiated in both Germany and Australia, according to reports. This severely limits access to dietary supplements like vitamins and minerals. For example, if the Codex is fully activated, it will be necessary for us to obtain a physician’s prescription to purchase more than RDA amounts of vitamin C. Beyond the extra cost involved, this represents a serious health threat since this substance is an important liver metabolite.

One thing they can't take from us is getting our vitamins through foods by using a masticating juicer. If the Codex goes through and we are less and less able to get nutritional supplements, then this will be where we will need to turn for staying healthy. Hopefully it will not come to that. This Codex started out as a good idea - to improve the safety of food - but it has gone horribly off track in targeting nutritional supplements and limiting consumers to being able to buy supplements that are as potent as they need to be.
