Hi,

 

I don't know who has heard about this. I've been

figuring for a long time that we would start hearing

about this sort of thing. Sigh.

Action Alert on GE-Tainted Vitamin C Tablets Sold in

Health Food Stores

Wed, 09 Aug 2000 [Revised 1/2001]

 

ACTION ALERT: Boycott Genetically Engineered

Vitamin C - post

 

FACT: Almost all vitamin C sold in this country is now

being derived from

Genetically Engineered (GE) Corn.

 

Soloray, Solgar, N.O.W., Schiff, Twin Labs, Country

Life and Nature's Life

have all acknowledged, that they cannot confirm that

the original source

that their Vitamin C is (all or partially) derived

from, is not from

GENETICALLY ENGINEERED CORN. This means that their

product " may " contain

Vitamin C derived from GMO's. None of these companies

sell Vitamin C that is certified organic or labeled

organic.

 

ACTION:

Let your local health food store and the vitamin

companies know that

this is not acceptable to you. Call the vitamin

companies listed below and let

them know you will be boycotting their Vit. C products

and that you demand

that they source a non-GMO (genetically modified) form

of ascorbic acid and

that you want it in writing that they can guarantee

their Vit. C is not

derived

from GE corn.

Thanks for asking. I certainly AM the Valerie in

Florida, Valorie, and I did enjoy speaking with you on

the phone. I look forward to your moderating on the

list, and I really enjoyed the post you just did

regarding wounds, burns, and boo-boos in general.

Great info. Good to have you here.

 

Valerie
