New ANH Study exposes flawed nature of EU plans to limit vitamin dosages

Dr Verkerk claims that outputs from the models most favoured by European

authorities have never been subject to proper scientific validation. The

paper reveals that proposed maximum amounts for some vitamins and minerals are

so low they may even be exceeded in a single junk meal. “The risk analysis

methods being used for nutrientsâ€, stated Dr Verkerk, “have been only

slightly adapted from those used to limit our exposure to environmental

chemicals like mercury, pesticides or dioxins. Nutrients cannot be treated in

the

same way because without them, unlike with environmental toxins, we suffer

serious adverse health effects or die.â€

 

The European Union has fallen prey to pharmaceutical influence peddlers.

This has become painfully obvious with the recent 'swine flu pandemic'.

Several EU governments are trying to sell off or give away those stocks of

vaccines the peddlers told them they must buy or face great liability.

 

Pharma influence on health care regulators has also been obvious to any

serious observer of the nutrition and natural medicines scene for more than a

decade. The European Commission's recent directives on medicines laws and

nutrients bear testimony to that. As the Italian saying goes, the knots are

now coming to the comb, meaning it is becoming obvious that - just like

buying millions of doses of swine flu vaccines - issuing restrictive

regulations for nutrients, herbs and natural medicines was a bad idea.

 

Why would anyone in their right mind restrict the availability of the only

products that can compete in the area of health with pharma's patented

medicines by providing real prevention? ... Unless, of course, their agenda

was that of eliminating any competition to pharma's virtual monopoly in the

area of health (or rather sickness) care.

 

And ... according to the Alliance for Natural Health, even the

justification for dosage restrictions on nutrients turns out to be lacking

scientific

merit.
