Is it correct that certain diseases such as cancer, heart disease and diabetes are caused by food denaturized by Codex?
Non-communicable diseases such as cancer and heart disease are in fact a growing concern in the world and their causes are now understood somewhat better. Research by WHO shows that some of these diseases may be partly caused by life style changes (e.g. unhealthy diets, lack of physical exercise) both in the developed and the developing world. A well-balanced diet composed of safe and nutritious foods is recommended to reduce risks of non-communicable diseases. Codex can help consumers to make an informed choice of foods they buy and eat, but it is up to consumers themselves to constitute their own diet. Two Codex Committees work actively to assist the WHO Global Strategy on Diet Physical Activity and Health to ensure that consumers get the right information about nutrients and can make healthy choices (http://www.who.int/dietphysicalactivity/en/).
