The EU directive on control of food supplements, due to be brought into force next month, has been declared valid by the European Court after challenges by the Alliance for Natural Health, the National Association of Health Stores and the Health Food Manufacturers Association, supported by the Tories (http://www.conservatives.com/vitamins/moreinfo.htm) and assorted celebrities.
