The Countess of Mar

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they will list those "many official bodies.' reported on 24 November (H.L. Deb., col. 749) to have accepted that 50mg and above is a potentially dangerous daily dose of vitamin B6.

Lord Donoughue

The Food Advisory Committee (FAC), the Committee on Safety of Medicines (CSM) the Committee on Toxicity of Chemicals in Food, Consumer Products and the Environment (COT) and the EU Scientific Committee for Food have all accepted that intakes of 50mg of vitamin B6 per day must be regarded as potentially harmful.
