Codex Action Alert - Sunday Deadline-Act Today

 

 

This Monday, July 4th, Codex begins and food safety

regulators from all over the world will meet in Rome to

decide upon global guidelines for vitamin and mineral trade.

 

Support world health. Support access to dietary supplements

 

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

Codex delegation and Congress to adopt principles that

ensure consumer access to dietary supplements like we are

guaranteed under our law, the Dietary Supplement Health and

Education Act (DSHEA).

 

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 )

 

URGENT-SEND YOUR LETTER TODAY. >>click here

We only have four short days to take a strong stand!

 

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. It only takes

60 seconds to make a difference. 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!
