Guest guest Posted February 2, 2004 Report Share Posted February 2, 2004 Came across this and thought it was interesting Alliance for Natural Health (ANH) lawsuit filed to overturn the EU Food Supplement Directive. The battle between the rights of consumers, natural health practitioners and healthfood manufacturers versus the corporate health and pharmaceutical giants, is presently being stepped up worldwide. The pharmaceutical cartel is extremely powerful and its agenda is being followed and adhered to by governments around the world. The Directive will ban about 300 of the 420 or so forms of vitamins and minerals present in around 5000 products on the UK market, many of which are sold in high street health food stores. The ban will have a similar effect on products in such countries as Sweden, the Netherlands and Ireland which have advanced markets for food supplements. The ANH has begun the legal process for a declaration that the Directive is invalid under European law. Dr Rob Verkerk PhD - "We believe that it will rob the consumer of the right to buy important nutritional supplements to improve their diet and health and that of their children, as well as putting hundreds of small businesses and the livelihoods of thousands at risk."
