There is a June 19 item on

law regarding access to vitamins.
The U.S. law that is about to be vanquished is the Dietary Supplement, Health and Education Act of 1994. Codex is a joint venture

Organization (WTO) has already stated that it will enforce Codex "guidelines" as the world standard for trade in dietary supplements. This
will mean that gradually, pill-by-pill, our access to the dietary supplements we depend on will disappear.
