Vitamins, minerals and nutritional supplements outlawed in Europe

The EU has declared war on nutritional supplements like vitamins and minerals. Their plan? To make sure people have to get their nutrients from pharmaceutical companies, where they'll pay thousand-percent markups.
The same could happen in the United States. The FDA and the pharmaceutical industry are scheming together to outlaw as many nutritional supplements as possible, and especially the ones that really work (like red yeast rice and ephedra).

Overview:

First 300 key vitamins and minerals axed, now 5 000 supplements banned by "insane" EU Directive. The Alliance of Natural Health (ANH) is set to legally challenge the contentious EU Directive on Food Supplements (FSD). The FSD passed into European law in July 2002 and effectively brings about a ban on 300 nutrients included in 5 000 health products, most of which are in dietary supplements closest to food forms. The appropriation of traditional products is likely to increase with food supplements, food substances and food/beverages (health drinks and fruit juices) suppressed by EU Directives repackaged as "Nutraceuticals" and sold by pharmaceutical companies.
