Now They Want To Outlaw B6 ???

Just when you think you've heard it all, well ya know!

A large pharmacutical company, Medicure Pharma, submitted a citizen's petition to the FDA. It basically wants to ban the sale of any US dietary supplements that contain Vitamin B6.
Vitamin B6 is a naturally-occurring nutrient found in many veggies, nuts & whole grains. But, in it's natural form it is called pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (P5P). The pharmacutical company wants to market it's own version of B6 and call it a DRUG !

For a better explanation, here's a link to an article from the Alliance of Natural Health.
