Health Freedom Matters: Codex Losing Ground

A word on Codex. The Codex documents state again and again that all people in the world usually obtain all essential nutrients from their regular diet. This statement is based on 50 year old nutrition charts and it totally absurd! In the UK, Dr. Robert Verkerk and the Alliance for Natural Health recently won grounds in the arena of natural justice and international trade treaty rules which, basically stated, that nutrient safety assessment needs to be truly scientific and not rigged by Big Pharma. They European Court of Justice also made the ruling that vitamins and minerals that have been part of the human diet for millenia, cannot be assumed to be toxic, but that synthetic ones can! Well THANK YOU EINSTEIN(ruling the obvious here: yet mark the importance of this event is not lost on this author)! Please read the article below that explains how our food has been losing it's nutrient value over the years and the evidence that many diseases can be prevented and CURED by proper nutrition.
