Codex Alimentarius

I'm interested to know how many clusterheads are informed about this, and how you think it is going to impact on your life, health, freedom of choice, etc.

The Codex Alimentarius Commission was created in 1963 by FAO and WHO to develop food standards, guidelines and related texts such as codes of practice under the Joint FAO/WHO Food Standards Programme. The main purposes of this Programme are protecting health of the consumers and ensuring fair trade practices in the food trade, and promoting coordination of all food standards work undertaken by international governmental and non-governmental organizations.

If it was developed in 1963, I am not sure what you are asking about Happywoman, has something recently been changed or a new development with it that would have a different impact than over the last decades?

I am not at all informed about any of this, and only know what I just looked up real quick, so that's why I'm asking.

Cat,
I'm with you on this one.  I did read through the FAQ page and didn't see where it would have any impact on ch'ers in particular.

   Another bunch of idealistic nosy busy bodies that think they must protect us from ourselves. That if we ignore them maybe they will go away. Probably not though. They will insist that it is for own good after all.

Yes, well.  It depends if you use any health supplements, vitamins, that kind of thing, and if you want the freedom to make choices about your health care, diet, etc. Probably best to look at some of the talks on You Tube.  The official site is not going to tell you what's really happening.

With the discrepancy here, sounds like something snopes probably has wind of.

Perhaps you could summarize some of it for those of us that may not have the time or inclination to do so. It's kind of one of the things we do for each other around here. As far as I know, the subject you've brought to the table may have a huge impact on all of us.

OK Brew.  I've spent a little while looking around online. There's a huge amount of info out there and nobody seems to get it all down in a very few words.  When you check it out, you can see why.

But.  I've taken some key paras from two sites. When you have read these perhaps you may feel inclined to investigate further.

Codex Aims to Dictate Everything You Put in Your Mouth
Codex is a set of “Standards” and “Guidelines” for food and nutrition, created by the United Nations (UN) and backed by the World Trade Organization (WTO). It aims to control how and what type of foods people can grow, sell, and eat, and what types of dietary supplement can be manufactured and sold. Dr. Laibow predicts that it will ultimately seek to control health treatment choices as well as food and supplements.
Codex was initially created in order to control every aspect of food production, packaging, preparation, preservation and presentation “from farm to fork”.
The plan behind Codex Alimentarius is to regulate, and thus control, every single thing you put in your mouth.
The first question to ask is “what would Codex take away from me if nothing is done about it?”
The answer is simple: Codex would take away your freedom of choice in your own health decisions, i.e. “health freedom”.
Health freedom means being free to choose your own health treatment modalities and natural health products such as nutritional supplements (vitamins, minerals, amino acids, etc.), herbs, homeopathic remedies, and clean food (such as organic food untainted by pesticides, herbicides, antibiotics) without government or corporate interference.

The Real Threat

While the esoteric agenda of the media is busy driving fear into the hearts of the world by focusing on terrorism, global warming, salmonella, and food shortages, the real threats are clandestinely becoming a reality. Soon every single thing you put into your mouth (with the exception of pharmaceuticals, of course) will be highly regulated by Codex Alimentarius, including water. The standards of Codex are a complete affront to the freedom of clean and healthy food, yet these regulations have no legal international standing. Why should we be worried? These soon-to-be mandatory standards will apply to every country who are members of the WTO (World Trade Organization). If countries do not follow these standards, then enormous trade sanctions will result. Some Codex standards that will take effect on December 31, 2009 and once initiated are completely irrevocable include [2]:

* All nutrients (vitamins and minerals) are to be considered toxins/poisons and are to be removed from all food because Codex prohibits the use of nutrients to "prevent, treat or cure any condition or disease"

* All food (including organic) is to be irradiated, removing all toxic nutrients from food (unless eaten locally and raw).

* Nutrients allowed will be limited to a Positive List developed by Codex which will include such beneficial nutrients like Fluoride (3.8 mg daily) developed from environmental waste. All other nutrients will be prohibited nationally and internationally to all Codex-compliant countries [2].

* All nutrients (e.g., CoQ10, Vitamins A, B, C, D, Zinc and Magnesium) that have any positive health impact on the body will be deemed illegal under Codex and are to be reduced to amounts negligible to humans' health [3].

* You will not even be able to obtain these anywhere in the world, even with a prescription.

* All advice on nutrition (including written online or journal articles or oral advice to a friend, family member or anyone) will be illegal. This includes naturalnews.com reports on vitamins and minerals and all nutritionist's consultations.

* All dairy cows are to be treated with Monsanto's recombinant bovine growth hormone.

* All animals used for food are to be treated with potent antibiotics and exogenous growth hormones.

* The reintroduction of deadly and carcinogenic organic pesticides that in 1991, 176 countries (including the U.S.) have banned worldwide including 7 of the 12 worst at the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pesticides (e.g., Hexachlorobenzene, Toxaphene, and Aldrin) will be allowed back into food at elevated levels [4].

* Dangerous and toxic levels (0.5 ppb) of aflotoxin in milk produced from moldy storage conditions of animal feed will be allowed. Aflotoxin is the second most potent (non-radiation) carcinogenic compound known to man.

* Mandatory use of growth hormones and antibiotics on all food herds, fish and flocks

* Worldwide implementation of unlabeled GMOs into crops, animals, fish and trees.

* Elevated levels of residue from pesticides and insecticides that are toxic to humans and animals.

Some examples of potential permissible safe levels of nutrients under Codex include [2]:

* Niacin - upper limits of 34 mcg daily (effective daily doses include 2000 to 3000 mcgs).

* Vitamin C - upper limits of 65 to 225 mcg daily (effective daily doses include 6000 to 10000 mcgs).

* Vitamin D - upper limits of 5 μg daily (effective daily doses include 6000 to 10000 μg).

* Vitamin E - upper limits of 15 IU of alpha tocopherol only per day, even though alpha tocopherol by itself has been implicated in cell damage and is toxic to the body (effective daily doses of mixed tocopherols include 10000 to 12000 IU).

The Door is Open for Codex

In 1995, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) created an illegal policy stating that international standards (i.e, Codex) would supersede U.S. laws governing all food even if these standards were incomplete [5]. Furthermore, in 2004 the U.S. passed the Central American Free Trade Agreement (illegal under U.S. law, but legal under international law) that requires the U.S. to conform to Codex in December of 2009 [6].

Once these standards are adopted there is no possible way to return to the standards of the old. Once Codex compliance begins in any area, as long as we remain a member of the WTO, it is totally irrevocable. These standards are then unable to be repealed, changed or altered in any way shape or form [1, 2, 7].

Population control for money is the easiest way to describe the new Codex which is run by the U.S. and controlled by Big Pharma and the like to reduce the population to a sustainable 500 million - a reduction of approximately 93 percent. The FAO and WHO have the audacity to estimate that by the introduction of just the vitamin and mineral guideline alone, at a minimum 3 billion deaths (1 billion from starvation and another 2 billion from preventable and degenerative diseases of under nutrition, e.g., cancer, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes) will result.

Degraded, demineralized, pesticide-filled and irradiated foods are the fastest and most efficient way to cause a profitable surge in malnutrition, preventable and degenerative disease which the most appropriate course of action is always pharmaceuticals. Death for profit is the new name of the game. Big Pharma has been waiting for this opportunity for years.


Best wishes for a healthy 2010.   Dontcha love irony.

Might just have to agree with you, Melissa.  I looked around and found some of their articles that might point to *conspiracy* theories.

The Codex is just good food processing, distribution and health quideline policy and helps to not only assure the worlds food supplies are safe and edible, that the foods ingredient are what they claim to be, but also to reduce all the sham nutrition claims such as are seen with bottled water, vitamins and supplements for example. It helps to know excatly what it is we are consuming.
Similar quidelines have been in effect for the developed nations for a long time.

Naturally those who manufacture and sell supplements with ridiculous and outrageous claims should be and are concerned. They will fight it and like politics create rumor and innuendos as some will lose a substantial income not only in the U.S. but thoughout the world.
It is basically a truth in labeling quideline.
Things like vitamin D cures cluster headaches can no longer be marketed this way without scientific proof. One can continue to use all they want however if they think it helps.

I had to buy a HI-C orange drink on the black market today, in the alley behind CVS.

But the *dealer* wasn't going to compound his offense and remained smartly mum when I asked if the human metabolism was now suddenly able to synthesize its own vitamin C.   That may be a problem if the answer is still no.

Warning shots were fired but he fled on foot.  WHO hounds have treed Bill Gates, his wife was brought out in cuffs to talk him down.  Their charitable foundation was found to still be distributing vitamin A supplements in several poor countries.
