NEW GERMAN REPORT CLAIMS THAT FOOD SUPPLEMENTS ARE UNSAFE
A newly established German institution, the Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR), released yesterday a 341-page report [1] on risk assessment of nutrients used in food supplements. The report makes recommendations for maximum levels that are well below those that are commonly present in vitamin and mineral supplements sold in health stores in the UK, Ireland, Sweden, other EU countries, the USA and elsewhere. Many people might, understandably, assume, as a result of this report, that commonly availablefood supplements are unsafe.
The Alliance for Natural Health (ANH), a pan-European body of interests in the natural healthcare field, strongly contests the science used by the German institute. Good science and good law underpin all of the ANH
