New 'EU Allowed Safe Levels' Of Vitamins Outrageous Vitamin 'Risk Assessment' Requires Review From the Leaflady

Jeff,

 

It is interesting to note that the vitamin D level is set at 5 under the CODEX standard. Most new research in the states supports at least 2000 - 4000 IU, or more, for people with cancer, fibromyalgia, diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, MS, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, depression, schizophrenia, gum disease, osteoporosis, rickets, osteomalacia and psoriasis.

 

 

 

When exposed to summer sunlight the youthful, healthy body can make about 10,000 -12,000 IU of vitamin D in about 30 minutes. Elderly persons, the homebound, people who dress to cover the body for religious reasons, those above 35 degrees latitude, those who use sunscreen, those who live in smog or do not go in the sun, people with dark skin, obese persons and breast fed infants will be vitamin D deficient and require longer exposure to sunlight.

 

 

 

At present the CODEX dictocrats can't tell you that you don't have the right to go out in the mid-day sun to get your vitamin D!

The German Risk Assessment Institute (BfR) has performed the task of setting Upper Safe Levels (USLs) for nutrients to be controlled under CODEX regulations. This tells only part of the store because there is no benefit analysis for any of the nutrients included in the BfR. The real problems occur when USLs are moderated to Maximum Permitted Levels (MPLs) by only one organizaton.

 

 

 

The BfR levels have been established as maximum permitted daily levels. In many cases these levels do not even approximate the current and approved Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) in the United States.

 

Could YOU live with these allowed levels?

EU Laws Outlawing Vitamins Said 'Valid'By CourtThis Is London.comhttp://rense.com/general66/vita.htm

7-12-5

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Controversial new European laws which could outlaw thousands of vitamin and mineral supplements were upheld by European Court judgesy.

 

 

The European Court of Justice rejected British health food industry claims that the proposed Food Supplements Directive, coming into force on August 1, breaches EU rules.

 

 

 

The surprise decision goes against an opinion delivered by the same court's advocate-general in April, advising that the rules should be scrapped because they contravene basic EU principles of "legal protection, legal certainty and sound administration".

 

 

The judges countered that the proposed arrangements, designed to tighten controls on the growing market in products sold under the health food heading, can go ahead as planned.

 

 

 

Health food companies have to submit natural remedies, vitamin supplements and mineral plant extracts - many of them in long-established regular use in a £300 million-a-year market in the UK - for approval and inclusion on a list of recognised food supplements.

 

 

The judges backed the move saying: "A 'positive list' system is appropriate for securing the free movement of food supplements and ensuring the protection of human health."

Controversial EU Vitamins Ban To Go AheadBy Sam KnightThe Times - UK http://rense.com/general66/procp.htm

 

7-12-5

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A controversial new EU regulation that has threatened to outlaw thousands of mineral supplements and bankrupt health food stores across Britain was upheld this morning.

 

 

The European Court of Justice approved the Food Supplements Directive even though the court's own Advocate-General advised that the Directive was invalid under EU law.

 

 

The ruling - greeted with surprise - is a defeat for a concerted campaign by more than a million British health food customers and shops. They have argued that the law, which will come into effect on August 1, will impose an unprecedented level of regulation on mineral supplements and could threaten the existence of small suppliers.

 

 

The Alliance For Natural Health (ANH), a group backed by the British Health Food Manufacturers' Association, have contended that it is unfair for health food manufacturers to bear the cost of applying for approval for products they have been selling for many years.

 

 

 

But the judges of the European Court of Justice said today that the new law was necessary to simplify the trade in natural remedies, and to give clear health advice to consumers by instituting an approved list of supplements, known as a "positive list".

 

 

 

The court observed that "before the directive was adopted, food supplements were regulated by differing national rules liable to impede the free movement of those goods and the functioning of the internal market."

 

 

 

But in an apparent concession to the British health food industry, which sells around £300 million of natural remedies every year, the judges did promise to simplify the application process for ingredients. They ruled that the burden of proof should shift from those seeking approval to those seeking to ban a product.

 

 

 

The judges concluded: "An application to have a substance included on a list may be refused only on the basis of a full risk assessment, established on the basis of the most reliable scientific data available and the most recent results of international research. A refusal must also be open to challenge before the courts."

 

 

 

The initial reaction of the British health food industry was mixed, as campaigners said they were still digesting the ruling and analysing the revisions made to the application process.

 

 

 

"We had expected a better verdict," said a spokesman for the Alliance For Natural Health this morning. "On the surface it looks like bad news, because they are upholding the Food Supplements Directive and that is disappointing... However, there may be a positive side to this."

 

 

 

Sue Croft, the director of Consumers for Health Choice, said that their campaign for special allowances for the British health food industry would go on.

 

"I think that we still have to stick out for a national delegation," she told Times Online. "We have to re-open negotiations with the EU trade commission to keep hold of our supplements and keep the British market intact. I think we have the political will to do that and that would be brilliant."

 

 

 

The Directive was first approved by EU governments in 2002, and health food manufacturers were given until today - July 12, 2005 - to submit detailed scientific dossiers proving their ingredients were safe. Those supplements that failed to qualify would be banned.

 

 

Over the last three years, health food suppliers have either reformulated their goods, replacing natural substances with synthetic chemicals that already have EU approval, or waited as their legal challenge made its way through the courts.

 

 

 

As part of their campaign, a petition of more than one million signatures and a letter of protest has been sent to Tony Blair signed by more than 300 doctors and scientists.

 

 

Today's deadline means that health food retailers and manufacturers have sent in hundreds of dossiers for their ingredients over the last week, leaving the current list of which products are banned and which are approved in flux.

 

 

 

"There is no current accurate list," said Ms Croft.
