Ken,
Here are a couple of good places to start...the horses mouth as it
were. A little bit of research will reveal that the commission began in 1963!
Worldwide in 2005? I'm not how much more 'worldwide' it could be since the
last commission had members from 160 countries.

It seems that the folks making the loudest noises about this are the same folks
who, when the Patriot Act was passed, placed themselves in cattle cars and
sent themselves to the Gulag. Some folks live their lives in such fear that
every little thing that can be extropolated into a personal threat drives them
to near
catatonia. This list contains more than its share of these types.
Myself, I just buy another rifle and case of ammo. Then in the spring I find
another neighbor who needs help putting in a garden.

Actually, bbanever, that's a very good point. If CODEX is really all it's
cracked up to be, why isn't every vitamin company, especially the big ones,
getting busy
popularizing this problem so a real anti effort gets underway?
I think I will start looking into this issue a little more, though.
