The pot is at bursting point!

The regulatory pressure pot that aims to stop 500 million Europeans accessing therapeutically useful natural health products is approaching bursting point.

Within two months we should see what vitamin and mineral dosages the European Commission aims to set as maximums across the EU.
January 2010 then signals the delayed ban of a host of vitamin and mineral forms that won't have been ‘proven’ safe or bioavailable. In nearly all cases, this is due to the sheer financial cost for the vast majority of innovative natural health companies that had previously been selling these products with no suggestion of any health risks, for decades in many instances.

In the same year, we'll see hundreds of health claims on foods and health products disappear, in the process losing invaluable information, which helps the consumer select healthier products, or foods for specific health benefits. Again, this will happen because a new EU regulation (the Nutrition & Health Claims Regulation) sets such onerous data requirements for proof as to be unachievable by most companies.

Simultaneously, the very same pressure pot wants to deliver us more and more genetically engineered food, increasingly being shown to pose very significant risks both to our health and the environment.................................
