E-DRUG: Vitamins, minerals as prescription drugs?
-------------------------------------------------
dear E-druggers,
I have heard rumours about Codex developing standards on vitamins, minerals,
etc that could have the effect of classifying them as prescription drugs.
Apparently this is based on standards developed by the EU. I'm afraid that
this is all a bit sketchy since I have only got bits and pieces of
information. Does anyone have any knowledge of this initiative or can point
me to something that's been written about it.
Thanks,
Joel Lexchin
