Eat Healthy Food

The FAO/WHO/Codex Ailementarius Commission has launched the first Joint FAO/WHO Project to construct an umbrella framework for establishing the safe upper levels for nutrient supplements globally.

The purported task of this scientific international collaboration is to assess the ‘risk’ of nutrients and related products as a measure to protect human health. Currently there are no established techniques to measure the ‘risks’.

While this project is of great importance to the future of our supplement choices and therapies in North America, a ten-year-old hurdle remains unresolved. It’s the Codex proposed guidelines on the potency limitations of vitamins, minerals and other supplements.

At a Codex Committee meeting in Rome this coming July, we can expect to see the adoption of the Codex new guidelines for our vitamin supplements and other natural health products and therapies.

Consequently, health conscious North Americans may see our worst fears come to pass, high levels of nutrients lowered because the Codex brainchild believes we can derive our daily nutrients from ordinary food, which is why they are currently encouraging the consumer to refrain from buying supplements!
