  1. April 2008 in Beijing, China – NHF begins its lone campaign against neurotoxic aluminum in food additives at the Codex Committee on Food Additives (CCFA) meeting, which after five more years of fighting and with the help of the European Union delegation, succeeded in achieving the removal of approved status for 75% of aluminum used in food additives.
  2. November 2009 in Dusseldorf, Germany – Singlehandedly initiated the opposition at the Codex Nutrition Committee that stopped the “dumbed-down” Nutrient Reference Values (NRVs) standard for vitamins and minerals from being adopted.

  3.  November 2010 in Dublin, Ireland – NHF and NHF-Ireland launched an anti-fluoridation campaign in Ireland that generated tremendous publicity and support as well as awareness of the dangers of toxic fluoride in the public-water supply.

  36. March 2018 in Utrecht, Netherlands   – At the CCCF meeting in Utrecht, Netherlands, NHF helped stop high levels of methylmercury from being approved as “safe” in Swordfish, despite a strong push by many other Codex delegates for commercial reasons to allow unsafe fish to be sold to consumers.
