British supplements (from the Patrick Holford newsletter)

[Guest guest]

Thanks to the tireless campaigning of thousands of people, and probably you, the future of high dose vitamin supplements in Britain is looking secure. According to Caroline Flint, the Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Public Health at the Department of Health. Speaking at a House of Commons meeting hosted by Consumers for Heath Choice this week, said that the Government will push for a ‘two tiered’ system whereby, whatever maximum upper levels for vitamins and minerals might be set for the EU, they intend Britain to be able to continue to sell vitamins and minerals under the current situation, which calls for ‘advisory notices’ on certain high potency vitamins, rather than an actual ban. This alignment of UK Government with the wishes of people like us, who want free access to safe supplements, is a big step forward and one that could not have been achieved without the thousands of letters that I will urge you to write to your MP or MEP as and when it can make a difference.

Don`t mean didly to me, I personally think that there are too many high dose vitamins out there which in the hands of the compulsive hypochondriac could cause ilness/damage.

Personally , I think that more emphasis sould be made on healthy eating than wasting money boosting the bank balances of the drug firms................
