Subject: ACTION ALERT: Boycott Genetically Engineered Vitamin C - post
FACT: Almost all vitamin C sold in this country is now being derived from
Genetically Engineered (GE) Corn.
Soloray, Solgar, N.O.W., Schiff, Twin Labs, Country Life and Nature's Life
all have acknowledged to me, that their Vitamin C is (all or partially)
derived from GENETICALLY ENGINEERED CORN. None of these companies sell
Vitamin C that is certified organic or labeled organic.
BOYCOTT ALL VITAMIN C PRODUCTS
ACTION:
Let your local health food store and the vitamin companies know that
this is not acceptable to you. Call your health food store and the
vitamin companies listed below and let them know you will be boycotting
their Vit. C products and that you demand that they source a non-GMO
(genetically modified) form
of ascorbic acid and that you want it in writing that they can guarantee their
Vit. C is not derived from GE corn.
Soloray - 1 800 669-8877
Solgar - 1 800 645-2246
N.O.W.- 1 800 283-3500
Schiff - 1 800 374-8444
Twinlabs- 1 631 467-3140
Country Life- (unknown at this time)
Nature's Life- 1 800 854-6837
(or call your brand of Vit. C)
This is a segment of the natural supplement industry that many of us have put
great faith in. Let them know how you feel and demand non-GMO derived
Vitamin C!
BOYCOTT VITAMIN C PRODUCTS
