Xi'an East HSR Station costs $2.5 billion. Without wars, 2.8 days of war spending would be enough to build one.

This new creatine study is insane. People who never trained took 10g of creatine a day and gained more lean tissue (2.43 lbs) than people who were lifting 3x a week with no creatine (0.31 lbs). Here's the breakdown: (1/18)
Community note
The 2.43 lb was DXA “lean mass,” not 2.43 lb of muscle. Creatine increases intracellular water, which DXA counts as lean tissue. The study didn’t measure hypertrophy, and exercise vs no-exercise wasn’t randomized. Does not show creatine beats lifting. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

There are 90,000–100,000 percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedures performed in the UK every year. Most of these involve the placing one or more stents. So there are many hundreds of thousands of people with stents in the UK. The NHS recommends that people with a stent avoid folic acid supplements. And yet the government has just made it mandatory that all non-wholemeal flour contains folic acid from December 2026. White flour is in a huge range of everyday foods, not just bread. Pastry. Cereal. Cakes. Biscuits. Sauces. Breaded chicken and fish. Sausages. Stuffing. Marmite. Even some wholemeal and "gluten-free" bread. How are people with heart stents going to avoid folic acid? On a typical British diet involving a lot of baked goods, it won't be hard to consume just as much folic acid as you'd get from a supplement tablet. And it will happen unknowingly, since there is no labelling saying "Warning! Don't Eat This If You Have A Stent!". And no information about how much folic acid is in each product. Does the government not care about people with stents? Or people with cancer? Or people with vitamin B12 deficiency? I guess not. Please sign Dr Clare Craig's petition and get folic acid out of flour and keep it in tablets, prescribed by doctors, only to people who need it, in controlled doses. And write to your MP and the Secretary of State for Health. @YvetteCooperMP
A reminder of the evidence for folic acid being harmful to people with heart stents. Article link and petition in next tweet.

A few weeks back I wrote the CEOs of the big supermarkets about the addition of synthetic folic acid to all non-wholemeal flour. The supermarkets all have to follow the law as set by Parliament of course, but, on the other hand, they have a moral obligation (and, I'd have thought, a legal one) to ensure that nothing sold in their stores constitutes a risk to the health of their customers. Their response was, as expected, disappointing. So far from Tesco I've had an automatic acknowledgement, but no detailed reply. From Aldi, a "Thank you for your feedback, it is important to us, it has been brought to the relevant manager's attention" but no detailed response. From Sainsbury's nothing yet, although I may not have the correct email address (companies are wary about making their management easily contactable). Maybe I'll send it via snail mail instead. The best response came from Morrisons, who, to their credit, sent a reply from a senior manager who at least took my concerns seriously, albeit quoting government boilerplate back at me and saying there was little they could do (which isn't actually true - what they really mean there is little they want to do because the things they should do, like a lot of things in life which are morally correct, are expensive and time-consuming). I also wrote to my MP at about the same time. An automatic acknowledgement but no actual response yet, whereas he was quite responsive over the assisted dying bill. I suppose it's been put in the "too hard" pile. Or maybe he's actually contacted the relevant ministers and they are busily copying and pasting some boilerplate text which fails to answer my points. I think it's still worth writing to all of these people. Old fashioned paper letters are worth trying too. In these days of everything being electronic, a paper letter signed with actual ink stands out from the crowd. If they think this is a minority interest, they can and will ignore it. If they get a big volume of complaint, in the end they'll do something, even if it's just for a quieter life. I'll keep persevering. In this post-democracy era, since we seemingly can't have politicians who do what we ask for, we all need to spend our time preventing them from doing things we didn't ask for.

What’s in a name? A lot, apparently. Your best bet for identifying whether a product has added synthetic folic acid is the INGREDIENTS LIST — where one is required, this is where added folic acid MUST BE DECLARED. It’s bandied about elsewhere, but this is where it counts .

This is no lazy script writing. “Folic acid” isn’t something any doctor would mention in a blood test. This is propaganda of the same sort smuggled into scripts for covid and the mRNA poison injections. Folic acid mass poisoning is looking less like govt incompetence by the day.
#Emmerdale drops folic acid in to storyline, undermines patient for her health kick & researching online. Gabby says what about all the preservatives & chemicals in food, the gp says "with safety & science at the forefront" Ps:NHS refers to Folate in blood test NOT folic acid 👇

“Folic acid …below normal range”? Maybe the scriptwriter should read up on the subject before writing nonsense. There is NO normal range for folic acid - it’s a synthetic drug. Love to understand why and how @emmerdale writers have agreed to produce this manipulative story.

#emmerdale The scriptwriters have received their orders to downplay the role of natural remedies and promote pharma, promoting the ridiculing of anti pharma people. Using TV soap dramas in this way is propaganda.

Only folate is natural, and found in fresh fruit and veg. Folic acid is toxic shit, produced in an industrial lab.
