- Jeff,
-
- It is interesting to note that the vitamin D level is
set at 5 under the CODEX standard. Most new research in the states supports
at least 2000 - 4000 IU, or more, for people with cancer, fibromyalgia,
diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, MS, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis,
depression, schizophrenia, gum disease, osteoporosis, rickets, osteomalacia
and psoriasis.
-
- When exposed to summer sunlight the youthful, healthy
body can make about 10,000 -12,000 IU of vitamin D in about 30 minutes.
Elderly persons, the homebound, people who dress to cover the body for
religious reasons, those above 35 degrees latitude, those who use sunscreen,
those who live in smog or do not go in the sun, people with dark skin,
obese persons and breast fed infants will be vitamin D deficient and require
longer exposure to sunlight.
-
- At present the CODEX dictocrats can't tell you that you
don't have the right to go out in the mid-day sun to get your vitamin D!

-
- The German Risk Assessment Institute (BfR) has performed
the task of setting Upper Safe Levels (USLs) for nutrients to be controlled
under CODEX regulations. This tells only part of the store because there
is no benefit analysis for any of the nutrients included in the BfR. The
real problems occur when USLs are moderated to Maximum Permitted Levels
(MPLs) by only one organizaton.
-
- The BfR levels have been established as maximum permitted
daily levels. In many cases these levels do not even approximate the current
and approved Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) in the United States.
-
- Could YOU live with these allowed levels?
