Although the US supported fluoride in infant formula during the recent Codex meeting in Chiang Mai, Thailand which dealt with infant formula and other special purpose foods, using data provided by the Natural Solutions Foundation, South Africa pushed the restriction on fluoride in healthy infants' formula through, despite strong US objection. Long a proponent of fluoridation of children's teeth, the ADA joins the Natural Solutions Foundation in pointing out the dangers of the now-debunked toxin in infant's bodies. CCNFSDU will bring its new recommendation prohibiting the addition of fluoride in formula for normal infants to the Codex Alimentarius Commission for approval in July, 2007 although, thanks to US pressure, the toxic metal is still permitted by Codex in the formula of sick children.

The US is highly influential in Codex. Focusing Codex on consumer well-being would allow the US to join the emerging pro-health coalition of national members of Codex, a much needed change in direction for the United States. The Natural Solutions Foundation believes this change of direction would be a positive move for the US and could improve the image of the United States in the international community.

Despite direction to implement the pro-health WHO Global Strategy on Diet, Physical Activity and Health by both of its parent bodies and report on its progress on doing so, the annual Codex meeting in Geneva put off any action for another year.

Following the precedent of the nutrition hostile Codex Committee on Nutrition and Food for Special Dietary Uses (CCNFSDU, Bonn, Germany) last November, where discussion of how to implement GS was moved from item 2 to item 11 on the agenda so that no time remained for discussion, Codex, the world food standards body (which treats nutrients as if they were toxins)placed this consumer-friendly discussion last. None of the 180+ members chose to protect consumer's health by insuring adequate time for discussion of how to protect their well-being by implementing the GS. Codex meetings end promptly on schedule, a fact relied upon by Dr. Rolf Grossklaus, the CCNFSDU Chair who recently stated that "nutrition has no place in medicine (CCNFSDU, 2003).

Two laws, the unanimously passed 1994 Dietary Supplements Health and Education Act (DSHEA) and the 1997 FDA Modernization Act (FDAMA) protect supplements from harmonization with international standards. US CODEX policy supports the restrictive Vitamin and Mineral Guideline (VMG) set for ratification with illegal U.S. assistance in Rome next month in direct violation of explicit US legal prohibitions. Congressional oversight is being urged to prevent illegal policy action by the US CODEX Delegation on behalf of this country. (PRWeb Jun 24, 2005)
