Vitamin C About To Be Made Illegal In Canada! Article at Mercola.com
What if, just for taking vitamin C, you could be thrown in jail for up to 2 years and fined up to $5,000,000?
That scenario could very well soon become a reality in Canada. The Canadian Government is trying to pass a bill known as Bill C51. According to some interpretations of the bill, it would remove all supplements from over-the-counter availability, by only allowing MD’s to prescribe them as they see fit.
This would mean that if you wanted to take a multivitamin, you would have to book an appointment with your doctor and try to convince your doctor that you are in need of these supplements. If your doctor decides a certain drug would be better for you, then you won't have access to your supplements anymore.
Consequences of the bill could include:
* No more supplement stores
* Supplements made illegal unless obtained through a prescription; 70 percent of all current supplements on the market could be removed
* Fines of up to $5,000,000.00 and/or 2 years in jail per incident of being caught breaking this law

Hi Marty!
It's my understanding Bill HR2900 passed in the House last year and is waiting on vote by the Senate. Debate may be taking place on a companion Bill S1082 rather than this one. These bills concern FDA control and regulation over supplements and as far as I know, are the equivalent to the proposed Canadian regulations.
What does this means to Americans?
The FDA at their discretion, can regulate supplements used to treat medical conditions.
