5/5. Access to Nutrients Threatened, Natural Medicine

http://www.encognitive.com
The 28th Meeting of the Codex Alimentarius Commission in Rome, July 4th to 9th, 2005, ratified vitamin and mineral supplement standards more restrictive that the US Dietary supplement health and Education Act (DSHEA). The restrictive Codex guidelines, while not limiting United States consumers’ access to supplements immediately, could lead to worldwide restrictive supplement standards. DSHEA is a more appropriate international standard.

The Codex guidelines, developed over eight years by the Codex Committee on Nutrition and Foods for Special Dietary Uses (CCNFSDU), treat nutrients as toxic chemicals, calling on the FAO/WHO Nutrient Risk Assessment Project to set upper consumption limits.

If the Commission adds the restrictive vitamin and mineral standards to the Codex Alimentarius it is likely to become the model relied on when Codex, WHO, FAO, the European Food Safety Authority, the FAO/WHO Nutrient Risk Assessment Project and/or any other international standards setting body creates international standards for other dietary supplements such as herbs.

Key Points:

Consumers believe world-wide health is undermined by the limits to nutrients recommended by Codex guidelines that will likely be used by many countries.

Codex vitamin and mineral guidelines, themselves, will not change U.S.laws but will create political pressure to change U.S.law.
Codex establishes a flawed toxic chemical risk assessment model to regulate helpful nutrients. This approach treats nutrients as dangerous chemicals and ignores nutrition science and supplement benefits.
Codex is not, and should not be confused with, the European Food Supplement Directive (EFSD). The EFSD–if upheld in court–will strictly limit European access to many dietary supplements beginning August 1, 2005. This law governs European markets and is not part of Codex, although both bodies treat dietary supplements as toxic chemicals rather than beneficial nutrients.
Natural health consumers must remain organized to protect and expand our health rights. Take action today to support DSHEA as the international standard for dietary supplements!

Tips and Tricks for Growing Tomatoes

To start a container tomato growing campaign there are a few tricks to consider before you start. You must first choose the type of tomato you want to grow. There are as many styles and varieties as there are people living in the state of New York. But with all the choices available, you must decide how the tomatoes will be used and pick the best one for your patio or deck gardening endeavors. Choosing the right plant may seem a daunting task, but if you ask for help from your garden center you will usually be steered in the right direction.

You will also need an appropriate container. The perfect pot is a self waterer that will ensure that the plant’s roots do not become waterlogged and rot before you see the fruits of the harvest, but will keep water close at hand for the plant to absorb the water through the soil. These can be purchased anywhere garden supplies are sold, but you can actually use whatever large container you may already have – so long as it has adequate drainage. If you have leftover plastic buckets from house painting, punch a few holes in the bottom and put some gravels or small rocks in there to keep the dirt from stopping up the holes, put in fresh dirt (potting soil is lighter) and your plant, set in the sun, and you are ready to wait!

Another thing to consider is that tomatoes need sunlight. If you do not have direct sun the plants will be a little leggy (tall and spindly), but will still produce tomatoes for your salad. Tomatoes love heat more than light, so make sure you have them in a spot that they will get a lot of heat. They are very resilient, but to have great success you must keep them warm.

Keeping the unnecessary parts of the plant from flourishing will increase your yield. Pull out the suckers (the leaves that grow between the stalk and the limb) since they will not produce anything – but will direct energy away from the fruit. Most tomatoes need to have a stake or trellis to grow on, but you can keep a tomato plant pruned back a bit so that it doesn’t overtake the entire patio. Just make sure you do not cut off any part of the plant that has flowers or tomatoes on it!

Choose your plants, tools, and area wisely and you will have all the tomatoes you can eat. Growing tomatoes on a patio or deck is fun and easy, not to mention healthy and inexpensive! Try it this year, and you will surely be hooked.

2/5. Access to Nutrients Threatened, Natural Medicine

Codex Encourages Increase of Carcinogens
For those who care about reducing cancer in the world, reducing levels of aflatoxins should be a high priority. But why bother about reducing cancer, if permitting unsafe levels of aflatoxin can reduce sanitation expenses and thus increase profits? It goes even further than just milk. Codex Alimentarius says that it is ok to give material contaminated with aflatoxins to animals!

Aflatoxin is known to pass into milk and meat. So, just for a moment, forget about the health of the animals, and ask yourself, what will happen to the people who drink the milk or eat the meat of animals fed with aflatoxin contaminated feed?

Who benefits from toxic feed? The chemical-agricultural industry, which saves money by not having to discard poisoned feed as allowed by Codex Alimentarius.

In 1996, the Ecologist magazine revealed that, when the Codex Alimentarius met, the German delegation put forward a proposal, sponsored by three German pharmaceutical firms, that no herb, vitamin or mineral should be sold for preventive or therapeutic reasons, and that supplements should be reclassified as drugs.[1] The 28th Session of the Codex Alimentarius Commission was subsequently held July 4 – July 9, 2005. [2] Among the many issues discussed were the “Guidelines for Vitamin and Mineral Food Supplements”[3], which were adopted during the meeting as a new global standard. This text has been the subject of considerable controversy, in part because many member countries regulate these substances as therapeutic goods or pharmaceuticals and not as foods (if they were not foods, they would be excluded from the Codex Alimentarius). The text does not seek to ban supplements, but to subject them to dosage, labeling and composition requirements.

The Guidelines have attracted concern from both consumers and industry due to the potential for restrictions on vitamins and minerals as dietary supplements. The health freedom movement has pointed to greater concerns related to restrictions on dietary supplement ingredients in Europe [4] via the European Union’s Food Supplements Directive [5] (which utilizes approved lists of ingredients and ingredient forms) and potentially restrictive dosage limits to be based on a Codex model via the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and World Health Organization (WHO) Nutrient Risk Assessment Project.

Low calorie, high nutrient “super foods”
