Os adjunto un link a la Alliance for Natural Health donde podréis informaros un poco más sobre el tema.
Os copio también unos párrafos que resumen a grandes trazos qué está pasando:
-As a consequence of moves to harmonise global food laws, concerted attempts to control consumer access to natural heath products are being made by governments and trans-national corporations.
-At a global level the regulatory framework is being developed through the Codex Alimentarius Commission (see our Codex campaign page).
-The system of control essentially moves natural health products from a category of food to products requiring pre-market authorisation, where the authorisation systems being used or proposed are very onerous and so lock out large numbers of products (e.g. around 50% of pre-2004 products in Canada).
-All this is being enacted under the often conflicting guises of ‘consumer protection’ and 'free trade', nearly always creating a situation where big business gets what it wants while our freedom to choose natural health products is dramatically curtailed.
