I've searched and seen a lot of information about this but it's all a blur and doesn't really make a lot of sense when you read it all together. What exactly is this and what will it do to us? Explain it to me like I'm a 5 year old. That way I know I'll understand.

Anyone?

could this have anything to do with my doctor pushing vitamins on me? Hes been talking about vitamin d as if it's the saviour to all my problems.

I think I read too that if Codex went into full effect in America, the organic food label would be gone. If organic food was sold, it would in effect go against Codex, and the USA could get in trouble with the WTO.

I'm curious to see what other responses you get. I haven't put the time into this to research it myself, and most of the claims I've seen have been through so much spin control and are so heavily weighted against the whole thing that their bias makes it impossible to get a comprehensible picture. I don't doubt that there's some pretty depressing stuff going on under the guise of providing good nutritional guidelines for the world, but I've just seen too many false or misleading claims to accept any of it at face value.

That's my problem, which is why I started this thread. I am hoping to get some really clear explanations as to why it's bad because at first glance, it doesnt seem all that bad.

Codex Alimentarius is a slow and steady, all encompassing "law of the land" continuing it's assent into governments around the world. Devised 30 plus years ago by the FAO/WHO, Codex are regulations that stipulate the control of all food, of all varieties, throughout the world.

To give you an idea - in Norway and Germany the entire health food industry has literally been taken over by the drug companies. In these countries, vitamin C above 200 mg is illegal as is vitamin E above 45 IU, vitamin B1 over 2.4 mg and so on.

Codex Alimentarius is supported by multinational corporations such as Pharmaceutical Giants and their conglomerates such as Monsanto.

More important that vitamins of course is food. With Codex, food will become strictly controlled and regulated. Legislation will ensure produce is grow via GMO seeds and they will be the main stay. Nutrients will be defined and they will not be in our interest. Monsanto is a big part of Codex, afterall it's a hundred year old corporation and now owns ALL the world's major seed companies.

Yeh basically they are doing this, saying that its for safety reasons.
But once again they lie, and they are doing it purely so the pharmaceutical company's can make big profit from natural substances.
For example, cholesterol medicines come from natural things.
So they banned the natural things so you have to buy the drug.
It is nothing but a scam.

Anyone have any really credible evidence on any of this?

Simple and short answer is :

Anything that has vitamins in it or is healthy and beneficial to the human body will be outlawed while anything that is known to either kill or cause bodily harm will be the ones pushed.

Pepsico's Grandma's Cookies.

They used to be healthy as ever, I'd eat 4 cookies and feel great, nowadays I won't buy them due to the elimination of the vitamins and nutrients.

Seldane allergy prescription medication
Outlawed in 2004 under the guise of a rare overdose, declared illegal by the FDA in 2002.

Watch the ingredient list and the nutrition facts labels on your favourite foods, make a mental note of the DRV percentiles (daily recommended vitamins). Watch for that list to change.

I still see NO HARD EVIDENCE of them banning organic foods and causing 3 billion deaths.

Someone please point out hard facts in there legislation pointing to this.

I have been researching it for days, can't find anything other then a whole lot of skepticism.

Just 29 days left until implementation...
