Nutraceuticals and nootropics for anti-aging

EU bureaucrats ban selenium supplements

If you think that the health and freedom of American citizens is under attack by incompetent, power-hungry officials in the FDA and other government agencies, then you’ll really pity the poor citizens of the European Union. As more and more power is transferred from national governments to the bureaucrats of the European Union, Europeans are finding their rights being trampled on at every turn. The erosion of individual rights is especially noticeable in the supplement arena.

The latest outrage is the banning of selenium-enriched yeast supplements. On the basis of pure armchair speculation about a non-existent toxicity problem, an EU commission recently removed these supplements from the market, disregarding protests from experts on the subject, and ignoring the fact that many Europeans are known to have a selenium-deficient diet.

We have seen similar actions in the U.S., where government agencies concoct phony safety issues in order make substances illegal. A recent example is that of hemp seed nutritional products, which were made illegal several years ago by an action of the Drug Enforcement Administration. (In this case, the DEA got its come-uppance in early 2004 when a federal court invalidated its authority over these products.)
