T-Nation should be aware of the threat CAFTA poses to personal choice with respect to supplements. This is just another example of the ephedra ban and the threatened ban on DHEA:
The latest word has it that the vote on the bill
implementing the Central American Free Trade
Agreement - CAFTA - could be as close as one vote.
If the CAFTA bill loses by one vote then your
nutritional supplements are safer.
But if CAFTA passes by one vote then your nutritional
supplements will almost certainly be subjected to
international regulations. This could mean . . .
-
Some supplements would no longer be available
to you. -
Many others would require a Doctor’s prescription.
-
Nearly all of the rest would have lower potencies
AND higher costs.
This nightmare scenario is already happening in parts
of Europe. And our government’s involvement in the
World Trade Organization already exposes us to this
threat (re: CODEX). CAFTA would make matters worse -
potentially infinitely worse.
Send a message to Congress right now urging a NO vote
on the CAFTA bill. If one vote could make the
difference, then so could your one message to
Congress. The vote will happen soon (perhaps today or
tomorrow), so act now.
