From March 31st there is a directive from the EU that state that we cannot make any claim on health from supplements or probably even food. So what does this mean? We cannot say anymore that vitamin C prevents scurvy? or that eating 5 fruits and vegetables a day will prevent obesity and heart problems in later life? Eating 30 g a day of fibre will help your intestine to function well? What can we say then? And why can the pharmaceutical company claim health for their drugs? For example why can they advertise so much or publicize so much on the benefit of statins for prevention of heart problems when in reality there are no even much evidence of that. Why can they advertise on the benefit of aspirin on health when is not something that the body needs to function?
A friend of mine mention also that something is going on saying that soon there will be an elimination of all books regarding the benefit of herbs and supplements books and all information about it. "I answer well if we were in China that might happen". But I was reflecting on that later on. What if they are going to sensor all health claims so that they can make it life easy for doctors and pharmaceutical companies to take over all the power from the people? Can that be a truth on the rumour? What if I and millions of people are to naive to think that something like this might happen in Europe? What if there is enough recession and people are not going to be concerned about supplements and food claims as it would not matter? What if the government and the European committee is distracting us with other serious things and than they just pass the law without the people having any knowledge of that until is too late? Are we going towards a Chinese government style so that things will be easier for the government to keep an eye on us and our own choices? Well I hope not, I hope people are better than that and they start now enquiring and responding to the threat of our own choices..
