Why is the real science being ignored?

Pressure by the UK and EU governments to limit the maximum allowed dosage of vitamin B6 continues, despite good evidence that doses at least 10 times greater than the upper safe level recommended by the UK's Food Standards Agency are safe.

The UK’s Institute of Optimum Nutrition claims that their new research on B6 has been ignored by the UK Government (see below).

The Alliance for Natural Health Expert Committee’s consultation response to the Expert Group on Vitamins and Minerals (EVM) report on Upper Safe Levels was also ignored.

How is it then possible to shape legislation by way of good science?

Increasing numbers of innovative companies, practitioners, retailers and consumers are appreciating that the legal challenge being developed by the Alliance for Natural Health provides us with one of the few remaining routes towards a precedent to fair legislation for natural products.
