Dr Manfred Eggersdorfer, senior vice president of DSM's nutrition science and advocacy group added: "In promoting the "call to action', we want to ensure that health care decision-makers fully understand the benefits of micronutrients, and their role in avoiding the devastating social and economic impacts of ill health."
We are well aware that attempts by governments and food manufacturers to
appear as "heroic" through efforts to swindle consumers into thinking that a
small amount of vitamin D added to their supermarket bread and milk is
sufficient for their daily required intake of vitamin D are ludicrous, this
event nevertheless opens the door to the dissemination and distribution of well
founded studies that promote significant dosages of micronutrients and
supplementation -- especially Vitamin D and most certainly vitamin C.
It may also benefit the natural health industry in the future as it works
to fight off the elimination of many natural substances and the medicalization
and dosage reduction of all others by the EU Food Supplements Directive and
related anti-vitamin regulations moving through Europe.
