建議的維他命補充限制是科學地缺陷
Proposed vitamin supplement limits scientifically flawed

(NaturalNews) The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and the European Commission (EC) have been working on establishing dosage limits on vitamins and supplements within the European Union (EU) using flawed toxicology risk assessment methods to make such determinations. A recent paper published in the journal Toxicology exposes the approach as "fatally flawed," citing the junk science being used to try to limit access to effective doses of nutritional supplements.
（NaturalNews）歐洲食品安全局（EFSA）和歐洲委員會（EC）一直致力於建立在歐盟（EU）內的維他命和補充的劑量限制，使用有缺陷的毒理學風險評估方法去做出決定。最近在毒理學雜誌發表的一篇文章，暴露出做法是“致命的缺陷”，舉出被用的偽科學去試圖限制接近有效的營養補充品劑量。
Robert Verkerk PhD, lead author of the article and scientific and executive director of the Alliance for Natural Health (ANH) International, has been working for years to explain to various European and international authorities the illogic of using toxicologic risk analysis to assess proper nutrient dosages. His paper in Toxicology is his most extensive and thorough critique thus far.
天然保健（ANH）國際聯盟執行董事和文章和科學的第一作者羅伯特維爾科克博士，已工作多年去向多個歐洲和國際機構解釋，有關不合邏輯的使用毒理學風險分析，去評估正確的營養劑量。他的毒理學論文迄今是他最廣泛和最徹底的批判。
The Codex Alimentarius Commission, created jointly by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations back in 1963 to establish a world food code, established its guidelines for vitamin and mineral supplements back in 2005. Though not technically enforceable, especially in nations like the U.S. where such provisions would be wholly unconstitutional, the guidelines suggest establishing upper safe limits on vitamin and mineral supplements using the same toxicologic risk assessment methods used on dangerous toxins like mercury and lead.
食品法典委員會是由聯合國的世界衛生組織（WHO）和糧食及農業組織（FAO）建立，早在1963年時刷立一個世界食品法典，在2005年時確立它的維他命和礦物質補充劑指引。雖然技術上沒有強制執行，特別地在國家像美國，在那裡這樣的條款將是完全不符合憲法。指引使用相同用在有毒物質如水銀和鉛的毒理風險評估方法，提出設立安全上限在維生素和礦物質補充劑上。
In his paper, Verkerk lambasts the slightly modified version of the EU's method of assessing nutrients that is based on the Codex recommendations. According to his analysis, the vitamin and mineral limits currently being proposed are so low that one would exceed them by eating a simple junk food meal.
在他的論文維爾科克嚴厲譴責，略加修改版本的歐盟的營養評估方法，建基於食品法典委員會的建議。據他分析，維生素和礦物質的限制，目前正在擬議中的是如此之低，只是吃一頓簡單的垃圾食品，人人會超過它們。
Two health trade associations in the U.K. recently conducted an analysis of their own that found that implementation of the limits in their country would end up shutting down over 700 independent retail stores, causing a loss in sales of over 100 million British pounds and costing at least 4,000 jobs. The Health Manufacturers Association and the National Association of Health Stores presented these findings to the UK Parliament back in December.
英國兩個保健行業協會最近進行它們自己的分析，發現在它們的國家實施限制，最終將關閉超過 700間獨立零售商店，造成銷售的損失超過一億英鎊，和至少4,000個就業機會的代價。保健製造商協會和全國保健士多協會在12月時，向英國議會提交這些發現。
The Irish Association of Health Stores and ANH International both filed complaints with the European Parliament's Petitions Committee for redress in the matter. All petitions put forward thus far against the proposed limits, including scientific information exposing the methodology as unsound, have been ignored by both the EFSA and EC.

ANH International and other concerned groups from across Europe are proposing that the EFSA and EC stop the implementation of any vitamin and mineral supplement limits.
