1. The EU Food Supplements Directive will eliminate High-dose supplements through the establishment of (upper safe) Maximum Permitted Levels (MPLs). Based on faulty risk-assessment evaluation, the "MPLs" will dramatically reduce legal dosage levels to nearly placebo levels.

2. Even the low-dose, food-based supplementation, herbs, and other (natural) nutritional substances are targeted to be re-classified as medicine by the EU FOOD SUPPLEMENTS DIRECTIVE's Human Medicinal Products Directive.

This Directive asserts that any product, even a food or food supplement, which has a physiological effect on the body, can be classified as a drug by the regulators.

3. The Nutrition and Health Claims Regulation, an integral part of the EU Food Supplement's Directive, will severely censor what can actually be said, promoted or advertised about mental or physiological benefits of nutritional supplements.

What about "Sovereign" nations?

The EU FOOD SUPPLEMENTS DIRECTIVE may very well be the law now, but it certainly will only affect Europe. And while other countries might sympathize with the fate of the European natural health industry, it doesn't really have anything to do with the U.S. or other countries outside of Europe.

...or does it?
