Codex Update for Monday. pls circulate

[Guest guest]

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!

 

Send your letter today, and be sure to tell your friends about this

important issue!

 

Thank you again,
