The document discusses the Codex Alimentarius Commission, which was established to set food standards and protect consumer health. However, it is argued that Codex has been covertly altered to prioritize corporate profits over public health. Future Codex standards proposed include classifying nutrients as toxins and limiting them to negligible amounts, requiring the irradiation of all food, and allowing growth hormones, antibiotics, and GMOs in food production on a global scale. Critics believe these standards threaten health freedom and could harm billions of people if implemented worldwide through the World Trade Organization.
The global food supply is being compromised by large corporations prioritizing profits over safety and quality. Trade agreements like NAFTA allow corporate profits to take precedence over protective laws, threatening public health. Major hazards include disease from antibiotic and hormone use on factory farms, which process most of the US food supply. Lobbyists also undermine laws to protect consumers through trade deals. Inadequate transportation and distribution systems further endanger the food supply. To protect lives, consumers must educate themselves and demand safer, more sustainable food practices.

Introduction
Food safety is a scientific discipline describing handling, preparation and storage of food in the way that prevent foodborne illnesses. Nowadays, there is much advancement in the process of product control and practices which are aimed to produce wholesome and safe food. Government have imposed very strict quality and food safety assessment parameters or food establishments. However, all food establishment have not adopted practices to ensure food safety. In order to survive, people must eat. Unfortunately the food that is needed for survival is not always available, safe, or nutritious for individuals, families, consumers and communities. Sometimes, the food we love and count on for good health are contaminated with germs that causes sickness and can even be deadly. More progress is needed to protect people and to reduce foodborne illness in America. New challenges to food safety will continue to emerge largely because of: changes in our food production and supply, including more imported food, changes in the environmental leading to food contamination, and changes in consumer preferences and habits.
Statement of the problem
Why food safety matters? Each year, roughly 1 in 6 Americans (or 48 million people get sick) 128,000, are hospitalized, and 3,000 die of foodborne diseases. The U.S Department of Agriculture estimates that foodborne illnesses cost $15.6 billion each year. In addition, it is important for people to understand how their behavior and activities contribute to the safety and how they can decrease the risk of foodborne illness. From processes on to farm, to practices in the kitchen, human activities play an important role in food safety. Food is also highly perishable commodity which can directly affect the health of the consumer. To ensure availability, of safe and hygienic food to consumers is challenge for service establishments and regulatory authorities. Reforms need to protect Americans from foodborne illness. The United States has been a leader in food safety, yet despite the efforts, there are some significant gaps. For example, even though the U.S. has national reporting requirements for 20 foodborne pathogens many of our states public health departments do not have the resources to comply with the reporting mandates.
Literature Review
The problem of foodborne illness is well known to the general public, due to the media’s frequent coverage of outbreak. For example, the local newspaper will occasionally print stories about foodborne illness outbreaks that happen in restaurants in our communities; even the major restaurant chains are not immune to such incidents. Foodborne illness can be both acute and long term. Som ...
The world is facing a nutrition crisis : Approximately 3 Billion people from everyone of the worlds 193 countries have a low quality diets . Over the next 20 years , multiple forms of malnutrition will pose increasingly serious threats to global health. Population growth combined with climate change will place increasing stress on the food systems , particularly in Africa and Asia where there will be an additional two billion people in 2050 . At the same time rapidly increasing urbanisation,particularly in these two regions,will affect hunger and nutrition in complex ways - Both Positively and Negatively

This document discusses factors that promote health and disease. It identifies exercise, sleep, nutrition from whole foods as promoting health while processed foods, chemicals, GMOs threaten health. It explains how the immune system relies on gut health and nutrition to fight disease. However, lifestyle factors and environmental toxins can lead to chronic inflammation and conditions like cancer. While healthcare spending is high in the US, outcomes are poor because treatment focuses on symptoms rather than underlying causes like diet and lifestyle. The document suggests improving health through diet rich in fermented foods and probiotics while avoiding sugars, gluten and processed foods.
Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) have had a significant impact on global society. While some worry about potential health risks, GMO engineering has helped address issues like poverty and hunger by increasing crop yields to feed a growing population. Processed GMO foods are consumed across economic classes and in many countries, both developed and developing. However, others argue that GMOs may cause diseases through the introduction of foreign genes and excessive use of chemicals in food production. There are calls for more transparency around food labeling to help consumers make informed choices about what they eat.
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is responsible for protecting public health by regulating food, drugs, medical devices, cosmetics, and tobacco. The FDA oversees products representing 25% of US consumer spending. It has over 11,500 employees located across the country and overseas. The FDA regulates a wide range of products and enforces numerous laws relating to public health and safety. Its mission is to promote public health by reviewing research and regulating products efficiently.
Winning the battle_for_consumer_healthcareVijay Reddy
This document discusses the emerging consumer healthcare market as major demographic shifts are increasing demand for products that promote health and wellness. Two industries - consumer goods companies and pharmaceutical companies - are competing to meet this demand. Consumer goods companies excel at marketing but must substantiate health claims, while pharmaceutical companies have strong scientific expertise but face declining drug revenues. It remains to be seen which type of company will dominate the consumer healthcare market by successfully meeting consumer needs through their strengths in either marketing or science.
This document discusses the importance of requiring labeling of genetically modified foods in the United States. It argues that labeling GM foods would help reduce health risks to consumers by informing them about the potential dangers of GM ingredients. While 90% of Americans support labeling, the US government has resisted calls for mandatory labels. Requiring labels would allow consumers to make informed choices to avoid health issues linked to GM foods like kidney damage and immune system problems. Labeling is necessary to promote food safety and protect consumers from the health hazards of engineered foods.
This document discusses the issues with the current global food system. It describes how fast food and factory farming have transformed farming practices and the food system. It also discusses the unintended consequences of this system, including food contamination issues. Additionally, it examines the role of government subsidies in influencing the types of crops grown and the affordability of different foods.

system of making sure we are not harmed. The motives are polar opposites Hitler cared only for
the preservation of his person, while we seek the safety of all humans. Whether they are synthetic
pesticides a a a , a a
three types of pests: insects, weeds, and pathogens (e.g., fungi and viruses). At some level they could
poison us also. Many contain carcinogens, cause neurological disorders, and the like. Yet, our food
seems safe to most people, and since 1992 cancer incidence rates have even fallen or remained the
same,23 cancer death rates have fallen,24 and life expectancy in the U.S. has been steadily increasing.25
Can we be absolutely sure pesticides are used safely? Not entirely, but like Hitler (and according to
movies, every Roman emperor, Catholic Pope, and Medieval king) we employ testers not in the
form of humans, but animals. All pesticides must be approved by the Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA), where the pesticide under consideration is given to laboratory animals at different
levels. The animals a time and used to gauge the threats to human health a
pesticide may pose. The EPA then determines whether the pesticide should be allowed, and if it is,
the specific instructions on how it should be applied.
Is it cruel to test pesticides on animals? It cer a , b
on animals will cause us to harm humans a notion in which 90% of toxicologists agree.26 Pesticides
decrease the cost of food, and make fruits and vegetables more affordable. Raise the price of these
healthy foods and cancer rates and other health problems in humans will rise.27 Help the lab animals,
and you harm some humans. Modern, democratic societies must make a tradeoff between harm to

Hitler was willing to sacrifice fifteen girls to save himself. The modern world is willing to sacrifice a
small number of laboratory animals to protect millions of humans. Moreover, the EPA continues to
find ways to reduce testing on animals without sacrificing food safety, like recent developments in
molecular and computational sciences, which can sometimes be substituted for animal
experimentation.28

The document discusses concerns about toxic chemicals in everyday products like food and cosmetics. It provides information on chemicals of concern found in these products and their potential health effects. Suggestions are made for actions individuals can take to reduce exposure, such as buying organic food, avoiding chemicals in cosmetics, and advocating for stronger regulations. The cosmetics industry is large and profitable but products often contain chemicals like phthalates and parabens that can penetrate the skin and may cause health issues with long term exposure.
The document discusses the growing global tobacco epidemic and the international response. It outlines how tobacco companies have expanded globally through free trade policies and marketing. The tobacco industry lobbies governments to protect profits. Tobacco use impoverishes individuals, families and countries by reducing spending on necessities, increasing healthcare costs, and lowering productivity. The Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) was established as the first international public health treaty to address these issues. Civil society organizations play a key role in supporting FCTC ratification and implementation.

This document discusses genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and their impact. It begins by defining GMOs as crops altered with genetic material to exhibit desired traits, mainly pesticide resistance. It then discusses the progression and timeline of GMO development. While GMOs were initially welcomed, public opinion has since opposed them due to health concerns. The document also examines how GMOs move through the food chain and can negatively impact both livestock and human health by disrupting nutrient absorption and potentially causing allergies and diseases. It emphasizes that consumers can choose to avoid GMOs by selecting organic or non-GMO labeled foods.
This document summarizes 25 facts about the hidden history of medicine. Fact #3 discusses how the FDA suppressed a natural cure for cancer discovered by Dr. Stanislaw Burzynski for over 30 years. Burzynski found that a combination of phenylacetate and phenylacetyl-glutamine could cure cancer, including terminal cancers. However, the FDA, medical boards, and pharmaceutical industry persecuted Burzynski and seized over 12,000 of his patient records. They suppressed his cure to protect the lucrative cancer industry. Burzynski eventually won court cases showing his treatment worked, but the FDA continued harassing him for years in a campaign to shut down his natural cure.

1) The document discusses the flat earth theory proposed by Wilbur Glenn Voliva, who believes the earth is a flat disc rather than a sphere and has offered a $5,000 prize to anyone who can prove him wrong.
2) Voliva rejects common proofs of the spherical earth such as ships disappearing over the horizon and the changing night sky in different locations.
3) The document outlines Voliva's flat earth model, including beliefs that the sun and moon are much smaller and closer than mainstream science claims.
This study found high concentrations of viruses in water samples from the Chesapeake Bay. Virus counts ranged from 2.6 x 106 to 1.4 x 108 viruses per ml and averaged 2.5 x 107 viruses per ml. Virus counts were usually at least three times higher than bacterial counts from the same samples. Virus concentrations were highest in August and October and lowest in April and September. The high virus counts suggest that viruses may be an important factor influencing bacterial populations in the Chesapeake Bay through infection.

The document summarizes and debunks various myths about alleged secret German and Allied activities in Antarctica during World War II and the postwar period. It discusses a real 1938-1939 German expedition to Antarctica but finds no evidence they established a permanent base. It also analyzes Operations Tabarin, Highjump, and nuclear tests in the region, finding they were not directed at attacking a German base as some claims suggest, but rather had other aims like military training or scientific study. While certain facts underpin the myths, when considering all available information the evidence shows the myths cannot be substantiated and are best seen as fanciful stories rather than historical fact.
The document discusses the Spencer-Churchill family, a British noble family that has held influential positions in British politics and media. It outlines the family's lineage and connections to other influential families like the Vanderbilts and Freuds. It claims several members of the Spencer-Churchill family are involved in criminal activities like human trafficking, cannibalism, and running propaganda networks. It criticizes several public figures for allegedly covering up for or being part of these activities, including Anderson Cooper, Jordan Peterson, and members of the Spencer-Churchill family.

2. to promulgate misinformation and lies about nutrients and
genetically modified organisms (GMOs) while fulfilling
its tacit population-control agenda. One reason why the
US continues to dominate Codex is because other
countries falsely believe that it possesses the latest and
greatest food safety technology; hence, whatever the US
asks for, its allies (Australia, Argentina, Brazil, Canada,
Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, Singapore and the
European Union) follow suit nearly every time.
The fact that Codex meetings are held all over the world
is also no accident and allows the US to maintain its tight
grip on the Codex agenda
because the less economically
viable countries are not able to
attend. The governments of
many of these countries (such as
Cameroon, Egypt, Ghana,
Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa,
Sudan and Swaziland) realise
that Codex has been altered from
a benevolent food organisation to
one that is fraudulent, lethal and
illegitimate.
Health Freedom Threats
While the mainstream media are busy with their esoteric
agenda of driving fear into the hearts of the world's
populace by focusing on terrorism, global warming,
salmonella outbreaks and food shortages, the real threats
are surreptitiously becoming a reality. Soon, every single
thing you put into your mouth, including water (with the
exception of pharmaceuticals, of course), will be highly
regulated by the Codex Alimentarius Commission.
The Codex standards are a complete affront to people's
freedom to access clean, healthy food and beneficial
nutrients, yet these regulations have no legal international
standing. Why should we be worried? These soon-to-be
mandatory standards will apply to every country that's a
member of the World Trade Organization (WTO)
(presently there are 153 members). If countries do not
follow these standards, then crippling economic and trade
sanctions may be imposed on them, although countries
may be able to avoid the standards of Codex through the
implementation of their own international standards.
Some government-run agencies, like the Therapeutic
Goods Administration (TGA) in Australia, are informing
the public that the vitamin and mineral guideline of Codex
will not affect their country. For
example, the TGA had this to
say: "The proposed Codex
Guidelines for Vitamin and
Mineral Food Supplements will
not apply in Australia and will
have no impact on the way these
types of products are regulated in
Australia."4
The bottom line is that no one
knows what types of laws will be
passed before Codex
harmonisation occurs, and no
country is safe from these
international guidelines, regardless of what government
agencies are saying in order to quell pre-emptively any
potential public uprising. Many alternative health activists
believe this may be a method to confuse and obfuscate the
Codex issue until it is too late.
Some Codex standards which are proposed to take effect
in the near future, and which will be completely
irrevocable once initiated, include:5
• All nutrients (e.g., vitamins and minerals) are to be
considered toxins/poisons and are to be removed from all
food because Codex prohibits the use of nutrients to
"prevent, treat or cure any condition or
disease".
• All food (including organic) is to
be irradiated, thus removing all "toxic"
nutrients from food (unless consumers
can source their food locally). The
precursor to Codex harmonisation in
this area began in the USA in August
2008 with the clandestine decision to
mandate the mass irradiation of all
lettuce and spinach in the name of
public health and safety. If the safety
of the public was the main concern of
the US Food and Drug Administration
(FDA), then why were people not
alerted to this new practice?
• Nutrients allowed will be limited to
a Positive List developed by Codex; it
will include such "beneficial" nutrients
as fluoride (3.8 mg daily), sourced
from industrial waste.
16 • NEXUS www.nexusmagazine.com OCTOBER – NOVEMBER 2008
...no country is safe from these
mandatory international
guidelines, regardless of
what government agencies are
saying in order to quell
pre-emptively any potential
public uprising.
"I did my university degree online, met my girlfriend on FaceBook, got
married live-streaming on YouTube and make a living buying/selling on
eBay. I’m just worried I won't find a cemetery website I can be buried in."
3. • All nutrients (e.g., vitamins A, B, C, D, zinc and
magnesium) that have any positive health impact on the
body will be deemed illegal in therapeutic doses under
Codex and are to be reduced to amounts negligible to
health, with maximum limits set at 15 per cent of the
current Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA).6
You
will not be able to obtain these nutrients in therapeutic
doses anywhere in the world, even with a prescription.
Potentially permissible safe levels of nutrients under the
Codex are not yet set in stone. Some probable examples
based on the European Union (EU) system may include:
– Niacin: upper limit of 34 μg (micrograms) daily
(effective daily doses range from 2,000 to 3,000 μg).
– Vitamin C: upper limits of 65 to
225 μg daily (effective daily doses
range from 6,000 to 10,000 μg).
– Vitamin D: upper limit of 5 μg
daily (effective daily doses range from
6,000 to 10,000 μg).
– Vitamin E: upper limit of 15 IU
(international units) of alpha tocopherol
per day, even though alpha tocopherol
by itself has been implicated in cell
damage and is toxic to the body
(effective daily doses of mixed
tocopherols range from 10,000 to
12,000 IU).
• It will most likely be illegal to
give any advice on nutrition
(including in written articles
posted online and in journals as
well as oral advice to a friend, a
family member or anyone). This
directive applies to any and all
reports on vitamins and minerals
and all nutritionists' consultations.
This type of information may be
considered a hidden barrier to
trade and may result in economic
trade sanctions for the involved
country.
• All dairy cows on the planet are to be treated with
Monsanto's genetically engineered recombinant bovine
growth hormone (rBGH).
• All animals used for food are to be treated with potent
antibiotics and exogenous growth hormones.
• Deadly and carcinogenic organic pesticides, including
seven of the 12 worst (e.g., hexachlorobenzene, toxaphene
and aldrin), which were banned by 176 countries
(including the US) in 1991 at the Stockholm Convention
on Persistent Organic Pollutants,7
will be allowed back
into food at elevated levels.
• The Codex will allow dangerous and toxic levels of
aflatoxin (0.5 ppb) in milk. Aflatoxin, produced in animal
feed that's gone mouldy in storage, is the second-most-
potent (non-radiation-related) carcinogenic compound
known.
• Use of growth hormones and antibiotics will be
mandatory on all livestock, birds and aquacultured species
meant for human consumption.
• The worldwide introduction of unlabelled and deadly
GMOs into crops, animals, fish and plants will be
mandated.
• Elevated levels of residue from pesticides and
insecticides that are toxic to humans and animals will be
allowed.
The Population Control Agenda
In 1995, the FDA adopted an illegal policy which stated
that international standards (i.e., Codex) would supersede
US laws governing all food, even if
these standards were incomplete.8
Furthermore, in 2004, the US passed
the Central America Free Trade
Agreement (illegal under US law, but
legal under international law) that
requires the US to conform to Codex.9
Once these standards are adopted,
there is no way to return to the
standards of old, but countries can
adopt ones that are considered higher
than those of Codex. An example of
this would be the European
Supplements Directive. Once Codex
compliance begins in any area, as
long as any country remains a
member of the WTO, it is totally
irrevocable: the standards cannot
be repealed, changed or altered in
any way, shape or form.10, 11, 12
Population control for money is
the easiest way to describe the new
Codex Alimentarius, which in
effect is being run by the US and
primarily controlled by Big
Pharma with the aim of reducing
the world's population from its
current estimate of 6.692 billion to
a sustainable 500 million—an approximate 93 per cent
reduction. Interestingly enough, before the arrival of
Europeans in America, the Native American population in
the US was around 60 million;13
today it hovers around
500,000, or an approximate 92 per cent reduction as a
result of government policies of genocide, starvation and
poisoning.
Codex is similar to other population control measures
undertaken clandestinely by governments of the western
world; for example, the introduction of DNA-damaging
and latent immunosuppressive agents in vaccines (e.g.,
weaponised avian flu and AIDS), aspartame, chemtrails,
chemotherapy for cancer treatment and RU486 (the
abortion pill funded by the Rockefeller dynasty).

One
billion of these deaths will be due to starvation, and two
billion as a result of preventable and degenerative diseases
of undernutrition, e.g., cancer, cardiovascular disease and
diabetes.15, 16
The foisting of degraded, demineralised, pesticide-filled
and irradiated foods on consumers is the fastest and most
efficient way to cause a profitable surge in malnutrition
and preventable and degenerative diseases, for which the
most appropriate course of action is toxic pharmaceutical
treatment. Death for profit is the new name of the game.
Big Pharma has been waiting for Codex harmonisation
for years. An incognisant world
population physically degenerating at an
accelerated pace, providing a spike in
revenue, is the ultimate goal for the
furtive and egregious controllers of this
corrupt trade organisation purportedly
looking out for the health of consumers.
Fighting Back with Private
Standards
Rima Laibow, MD, medical director
for the Natural Solutions Foundation,
has brought legal action against the US
government and continues to attend
every Codex meeting as a public
observer while fighting for our
health freedom. She has also been
meeting with delegates from
various countries to make them
aware of Private Standards, which
allow countries to draft food
standards which are safer and
higher than those mandated by
Codex. Obviously, drafting safer
standards is not a difficult task, and
many countries can seemingly
circumvent the flawed and
irrevocable guidelines that Codex
is attempting to implement.17
Battle over GM Labelling
The latest Codex meeting in Geneva concluded with
some interesting outcomes. Some long-simmering
acrimony began to surface as the US continued to force
forward the biased agendas of Big Pharma, Big Chema,
Big Agribusiness and the like without considering the
input of many other countries. Typically, if the US does
not want a country's input, the host country of the meeting
simply denies visas to official delegates. Several countries
object to this practice and stated that because of this and
other reasons, decisions made by Codex in their absence
do not have international legitimacy.
One major point of contention is the US and the Codex
Alimentarius Commission's staunch refusal to allow
labelling of GMOs. Japan, Norway, Russia, Switzerland
and virtually all the African countries and 26 European
Union countries have fought the US for nearly 18 years to
introduce mandatory labelling of GMOs. The US
fallaciously considers GMOs to be equivalent to non-
GMOs, based solely on a 1992 Executive Order from then-
President George H. W. Bush. Consequently, no pre-
market safety testing is conducted on any GMOs before
they are released into the food chain in the US. The FDA
refuses to review any safety data except to conduct a single
preliminary review early in the organism's development.
Opponents of the US policy prohibiting labelling of
genetically modified food conclude that the US does not
want GMOs labelled because of the
potential legal ramifications for and
liability of manufacturers and the US
government if these foods can be
traced. If millions of people are
harmed or killed due to the instability
of the inserted DNA promoter viruses
and marker bacteria when interacting
with the dynamic and fluid structure of
the human body, then millions of
lawsuits may result. But if these
GMOs are totally untraceable, then
corporate or government liability
cannot be assessed and the health of
the entire population suffers. Some
FDA scientists have repeatedly
warned about releasing GMOs
into the general food supply
because of the dangers, but they
have been ignored or routinely
overruled.
Prior to the Geneva meeting, the
Codex Committee on Food
Labelling met in Ottawa, Canada
(28 April to 2 May 2008). The
meeting concluded with several
pro–mandatory GMO labelling
nations angry that the committee
had not objectively analysed the empirical research,
prepared by the South Africa delegation, detailing the
dangers of GMOs. This document delineated the need for
mandatory labelling of GMOs, but was ignored and
subsequently withdrawn due to US pressure. As a result,
several countries planned to scrap the requirements of
Codex and adopt their own labelling system for GMOs in
an effort to curtail the spread of "lethal" food. This became
a real quandary for FAO and WHO.
According to Dr Laibow, at the recent Geneva meeting
FAO and WHO finally stepped in and decided to
undertake a program to identify low-level contamination
of GMOs in food.
The definition of low-level contamination will still
depend on each country's standards. For example, the US

5. currently allows for up to 10 per cent
(the highest of any country under
Codex) of GMO contamination of
organic foods and, amazingly, still
allows them to be labelled as "USDA
Certified Organic". Some
governments, such as the European
Union, allow only 0.9 per cent
contamination, while others permit
merely 0.1 per cent.
However, the FAO and WHO's use
of the term "contamination" simply
does not describe the GMOs as being
mixed in with normal food. This term
is also very noteworthy, as most
research on the dangers of GMOs can
no longer be denied.
The US, of course, vehemently
objected to such a designation, but this
time to no avail.
Although FAO and WHO have not
gone so far as to require mandatory
labelling of GMOs, their recognition
that GMOs can contaminate food is a
huge win for health freedom.
Expanding that requirement to
mandatory labelling is the next logical
step, but this is still a work in
progress.
Take Action against Codex!
The only way to avoid the death-for-
profit agenda is to fight back by
disseminating knowledge to everyone
you know.
It does not matter whether they are
still asleep or hypnotised by the
enslavement of daily life or too busy to
pay attention: the time to wake up is
now.
The US government and the
collaborating media have been trying to
distract the world while all these
egregious and mandatory standards are
covertly passed.
It is time to take action, and you can
do so by going to the website of the
Natural Solutions Foundation, which
can be found at www.healthfreedom
usa.org, and following the latest updates
on Codex. You can also sign a legal
citizen's petition at the web page
http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/
index.php?page_id=184.
It is very important that swift and
vociferous action be taken now.
Times are changing very rapidly, and
unless we all come together on this
issue we may have to start thinking
about growing our own food in the
near future to avoid calculated
extermination.

by Joseph P. Farrell
$38.00
(includes postage & GST)
In 1945, a mysterious Nazi secret weapons project code-
named "The Bell" left its underground bunker in lower Silesia,
along with all its project documentation, and a 4-star SS gener-
al. Taken aboard a massive six-engine ultra-long range aircraft,
"The Bell," Kammler, and all project records disappeared com-
pletely. As a prelude, the SS murdered most of the scientists
and technicians involved with the project, a secret weapon
that according to one Nobel prize-winning physicist, was
given a classification of "decisive for the war," a security classi-
fication higher than any other secret weapons project in the
Third Reich, including its atomic bomb.
