The retail brand, in the attached article, was already BUSTED for FRAUDULENT representation in the USA, in late 2010 (front page of the Wall Street Journal and NY Times) claims, by the FTC/US Department Of Justice, for non absorbability.

 As a matter of fact, the joke in hospitals and other institutional settings (convalescent homes), call this and similar brands “bed pan bullets”, because they pass through the gut, undissolved, let alone absorbed.

So we should ask a simple question: if so called vitamin and mineral supplements, like the above brand, actually worked, why are folks getting sicker and sicker?

In point of provable FACT, such brands are a scam and fraud, to get you sicker, to get you on more drugs, for REVENUE and PROFIT for Big Pharma.

TV advert claims for Pfizer owned Centrum multivitamins that used EU-approved health claims were still misleading because they did not make clear that a balanced diet could be achieved without supplements, the UK advertising watchdog has found.

Consumers Willing to Pay Premium for Healthier Genetically Modified Foods

In CategoryFood and More, Genetic Modification
ByRuss Bianchi

Talk about your pure propaganda articles (see attached BIG LIE article).

Firstly, ALL GENETICALLY MODIFIED SEEDS, ORGAMISMS, CROPS, LIVSTOCK, FOOD, BRANDS are poison that harm and kill at any exposure level.

Secondly, the outrageously false premise that consumers would be willingly, if knowingly, pay more to poison their family and themselves, at higher cost, borders on complete absurdity. One is reminded of the anal leaked and loose stools fake fat Olestra/+lean Brand that was nothing more than hydrogenated mineral oil.

This totally bought and paid for attached spin article, by sinister and evil genetic modification DEATH MERCHANT$, demonstrates the depths they are willing to go (Hades, their designated residence) to harm you.

GMO’S KILL, PERIOD.

Consumers are eager to get their hands on, and teeth into, foods that are genetically modified to increase health benefits – and even pay more for the opportunity.

The porn corn lobby are liars and death merchants engaging in consumer FRAUD and seeking to violate Federal code of Federal Regulation for the define term ‘sugar’ as well as Federal Trade Commission advertising standards.

~ Uncle Russ

Lately, high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) has come under fire, resulting in a proposed name change from HFCS to simply “corn sugar”. While it’s unclear what effects this possible name change will have, consumers are continually concerned about the controversial food additive. According to Mintel, 65% of consumers believe manufacturers or brands themselves should be responsible for disclosing how much HFCS a food or drink contains.

Summary:The effect of COPs on the human organism has not been fully elucidated. An initial assessment by BfR does, however, come to the conclusion that the COP intake by consumers from fresh meat packaged in a controlled atmosphere is only marginally higher.

Kevin Gaffney had to face up to a double setback on Friday. The 53-year-old, made redundant by the airline that employed him at London’s Heathrow airport, was obliged to sign on for jobseeker’s allowance for the first time. And just when his income was at an unhappy ebb, what struck him at the supermarket where he stopped off for provisions was how much food prices were on the rise.

Global melamine standard would protect consumers, lower trade barriers

Hmmmm, melamine, BPA, acrylamide, arsenic, pesticides, herbicides, genetic modification, chlorine, fluoride, MSG, cancer causing high intensity sweeteners, HFCS, etc….notice a PATTERN here folks?

 The pattern is the food, beverage, cosmetic, flavor, and pharma chains are completely broke, corrupt, and little, if anything, is being done to fix them.

 You must take charge of your own health.

 GOT ZIJA?!

~ Uncle Russ

By Rory Harrington, 23-Mar-2010

A global initiative to set an internationally-recognised standard for melamine in foods could harmonise efforts to detect future contamination and avoid unwanted trade barriers, said food safety officials.

The New Zealand Food Safety Authority (NZFSA) is leading the group, made up of experts from around the world. The scheme was set up following the 2008 scandal in China when tons of melamine-tainted milk powder resulted in six deaths and the sickening of an estimated 300,000 people. Melamine was added to the powder to artificially bump up protein measurements when the product was tested.

Protecting Consumers With Food Allergies Should Improve With New International Guidelines

In CategoryAllergies, Products, Health Dangers, Etc
ByRuss Bianchi

Note the regulators are only talking about “LETHAL” allergens, not debilitating, crippling, poisoning, disease inducing, or injuring ingredients or products. 

 Note also they are talking about eliminating lethal allergens, because the truth of the matter is these agencies PRETEND to do something, and are worthless industry controlled bureau/technocrats, protecting no one, but themselves, and the industry profit seekers they serve. 

 The old Roman adage remains true: CAVEAT EMPTOR (Let The Buyer Beware).

~ Uncle Russ

ScienceDaily (Mar. 2, 2010) — The European Commission’s Joint Research Centre has co-authored new international guidelines which should better protect consumers, by promoting the harmonized, accurate and reliable testing of potentially lethal food allergens by analytical laboratories worldwide.
