“Thanks to The American Policy Center and NewsWithViews.com our article with the provocative title, ‘Kiss Your Vitamins Goodbye,’ flooded the internet in the last two weeks of June leading up to the Codex Alimentarius meeting in Rome July 4-9, 2005. … This article is a report on that meeting. Just before several members of Friends of Freedom International (FOFI) left for Rome we were aware that neither the U.S. nor the Canadian delegations to Codex were going to intercede to stop a restrictive and compulsory guideline on vitamins and minerals to be adopted that could overrule U.S. law and Canadian regulations with regard to dietary supplements. And then the moment we were all waiting for — at 3:45 pm on July 4th in Rome — we received a slap on the face and a swipe against our independence. In a stuffy, sweltering room holding about 500 delegates from 85 countries and many trade groups only one lone consumer Non-Government Organization (NGO) spoke out: National Health Federation. In that instant history was made and health was unmade: Codex adopted restrictive vitamin and mineral guidelines.” (07/29/05)
