Re: Codex Alimentarius - Not signed into Law

[Guest guest]

That is an incorrect statement. The Codex Alimentarius has never been signed

into law in the United States. Below is what was signed into law, by Executive

Order, in June. It is one of the first concrete examples of the effectiveness of

the Health Care Reform law.

Joe,

Thanks for this excellent information. It seems very inclusive and

is much needed. I just wish they had included some of the other

programs such as those in the Healthy Housing offices of several

of the government agencies. CDC and HUD aren't included at all.

Thank you Joe for responding. So they did not sneak in a loop hole within the

bill by which they can enter things later left to interpretation of the bill.

Obscure language like scientifically based evidence only..........so many things

written are open to interpretation like no name for an organization ....other

little things like that is what I am questioning.  Is it as black and white as

it seems to be ?   I did read what you wrote below.

That is my true concern. As although some things look black and white, I hate

when the language used is obscure and when they refference an unknown not named,

organization it worries me. 

  

 Regualting to take control of supplements by big pharma is a scarry thought.

Since they only want science-based evidence, we know that not many studies have

been done on supplements and the ones or few that were done were done with

intent to dismantel them.  Using wrong amounts, wrong variety, artificial ones

etc.  Just examples.

It is a really tough issue. Some food supplements become drugs and stand

the chance of being improperly regulated much to the detriment of the

environmentally ill. Some foods need to be better regulated to prevent

environmental illness from them being unregulated. So...as always, the REAL

question becomes who is doing the regulating of what, for what purpose and based

on what evidence; and how do you legislate that?
