Guest guest Posted January 31, 2004 Report Share Posted January 31, 2004 Hi All If we think that supplements are a help and Codex is a threat - you have been misled. The Big Pharma and Chemical Companies already control your vitamins! Codex just insures no competition, and they don't want you to know that their vitamins are almost worthless. Only Natural things can heal/cure = Good Food, Exercise and SUNLIGHT! These vitamins are NOT NATURAL! http://www.lifestar.com/pages/NotEqual1.html " ALL SUPPLEMENTS ARE NOT CREATED EQUAL...part 1 Food supplements were invented because peoples well being left something to be desired. Our bodies have only the resources we consume from which to take materials to generate and maintain our cells. The difference between nutrient-depleted food and nutrient-rich fresh grains, fruits and vegetables can be the difference between being vitally healthy, or desperately ill. Modern farming practices and food processing are rapidly depleting the raw materials and biological life in the food chain, and the toll it is taking can be counted in the statistics of illness and death. In a world where modern agriculture thinks it makes sense to grow food in deficient soil, bathed in pesticides and herbicides, picking produce green to be gas-aged in storage to create the illusion of being ripe, irradiating any sign of life left, supplements provide a much needed resource. Unknown to most consumers world wide, there are no brand name vitamin companies that actually manufacture their own vitamin material. They may create the formulas and manufacture the tablets, but they do not create the vitamin material. It is all manufactured by 14 companies worldwide and seven of them are located in the United States. The seven Companies Are: 1. Pfizer Chemicals Division. 2. Fine Chemicals Division--Henkel Corporation. 3. Takeda USA--Takeda Chemical Industries, LTD. 4. Roche Chemical Division--Hoffman LaRoche. 5. Archer Daniels Midland Corporation. 6. Chemicals Division--BASF Wyandotte Corp. 7. Eastman Chemical Company 100% of the vitamins made by these companies are synthetic or identical to synthetic. They are all made to an internationally accepted standard referred to as USP-grade (United States Pharmacopoeia) of FCC (Food Chemical Codex) vitamin material, in other words, free-form vitamin molecules without their natural food attachments. Among these are vitamins derived from so-called " natural sources, " and even these are stripped of their natural protein bonds and other food attachments, including enzymes. They frequently contain detectable amounts of petroleum-based extraction solvents such as Hexane. Almost all vitamins on the market today, whether labeled " natural source " or " natural base, " have been so processed as to leave them in a totally unnatural free form, not in the natural form in which nutrients are delivered in food. What Is a Vitamin? There are different points of view about vitamin and mineral molecules. The commonly held belief is that molecules are molecules, and all you need to do is put the molecules in the body in order for them to be put to use. Traditionally, the field of biochemistry has believed that elements can be removed and segregated from their natural constituents and still retain their original or natural effectiveness. But if we use the nutrients in food as our model, which is the delivery system used by nature to evolve human life over millions of years, then what we find is that vitamins and minerals as found in food are always an integral part of a complex matrix of nutrient factors that is essential.
