Scary and Amazing. Recommend Watching this
This fight has been ongoing for years. I tried to alert people to this on the nutrition board, back when I first started posting to this site. I first learned about it over 12 yrs ago, and was shocked beyond belief. It's been passed in many markets, and in Germany, you can only get vitamin C in 50 mgs, ...unless of course you have a prescription.
Other foods, they plan to re-classify as drugs. The law is already in place on the books, ...just not yet enforced.
If and when it is, ...you can kiss your garlic pizza goodbye, as well as your ginger tea, honey and many other things
The sale and distribution of foods which have been found to have any medicinal benefits will come under the jurisdiction of the pharmaceutical companies. I believe this to be an attempt to keep market share & increase profits in a market where more & more people are turning towards natural foods to optimize their health, and are turning away from the scary, carcinogenic, synthetic drugs that have wreaked such havoc on the population.
Codex is definitely something worth educating yourselves about.
