If you have any specific questions or queries you can email us at our email address here. Codex Alimentarius is most important to understand as it will have very serious impact in longer-term, especially if the risk assessment system that it proposes to use to establish maximum allowed dosages is not changed over the coming months. With the Codex Alimentarius Commission set to put in place international standards we could see: The degradation and undermining of organic standards so that “organic food” can contain various chemical additives and processing aids. Flagrant disregard of their own directive to protect consumer safety by setting standards that allow for significant residues of pesticides in foods (as much as 3275 including those that are suspected carcinogens or endocrine disrupters) An understatement of nutritional requirements for long term optimum health of the consumers it seeks to protect by setting unnecessarily low Nutrient Reference Values The forcing of therapeutic grade vitamins and minerals to be reclassified as drugs by default by setting very low maximum level dosages for supplements using flawed risk assessment methods The way paved for implementation of GM food plants and GM animals by arguing that world food requirements cannot be met without global implementation of GM animals World agricultural populations economically vulnerable to crop failures during natural disasters, droughts or floods by approving “Terminator” seeds for international trade If we allow Codex to implement these strategies eventually: The world population will not know what it is eating The world population will not know why it is getting sick The world population will not have access to information, natural nutrients or natural medicines that can make it well Codex Use Junk Science to Declare that “Nutrients are Toxins” The Codex Alimentarius Commission (CAC) has two committees which impact nutrition. One of them is the “Codex Committee on Nutrition and Foods for Special Dietary Uses” (CCNFSDU). The host government for this committee is non other than the Federal Republic of Germany! This committee is chaired by the Dr. Rolf Grossklaus, a German physician who believes that nutrition has no role in health. This is the “head hauncho” for Codex nutritional policy, and he has stated that “nutrition is not relevant to health”. In 1994, as "barking mad" as it may sound, Dr. Grossklaus has also instituted the use of toxicology (Risk Assessment) to prevent nutrients from having any therapeutic impact on humans who take supplements in the name of "Public Safety"! The science of toxicology or Risk Assessment is the current method for assessing pharmaceutical drugs and is completely absurd and unscientific to apply to nutrients. While Risk Assessment is a legitimate science (it is a branch of toxicology), it is the wrong science for assessing nutrients! In fact, in this context, it is actually junk science. Biochemistry, the science of life processes, is the correct science for assessing nutrients. Codex Alimentarius treats nutrients as toxins, which is literally insane. Nutrients are not toxins - they are essential for life. http://www.healthfreedom.co.nz/codex_alimentarius.htm http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/?page_id=184
