Codex Alimentarius - The End Of Health Freedom is the first in-depth expose of the international organization known as Codex Alimentarius. Author Brandon Turbeville demonstrates how the implementation of Codex Guidelines will be detrimental to the health and freedom of billions the world over. Turbeville painstakingly explains how the guidelines will extinguish the use of vitamins and minerals, allow even higher levels of food irradiation, give approval to harmful pesticide and toxic substance residue in food, and encourage the proliferation of GMOs. The author also describes how Codex Alimentarius will be used as a tool to usher in the destruction of national sovereignty and what can be done to stop it.

This publication showcases the steps the Codex Alimentarius has taken from 2016 to 2017 to ensure safe and quality food for all. Over the year, the committees prepared updates to international food standards, guidelines and codes of practice, with the Codex Alimentarius Commission acting as the final decision-making body.
