Keep Folic Acid out of our food! ☠️ Keep sewage out of our waterways My opinions are my own

Unfortunately they’ve been permitted to use up old packaging —without a requirement to sticker wth info about the addition of folic acid! (Why the hell not, given that NHS warn a lot of people to avoid it?) At this stage it’s prob. best to assume anything listing flour has it in!

The UK is making folic acid fortification of non-wholemeal wheat flour mandatory later this year but it’s already appearing in foods on our shelves. Why should synthetic folic acid be added routinely to a staple food eaten by almost everyone? I can see that FOLIC ACID is in this Scottish shortbread. Now I want to know where else it’s turning up. Bread? Biscuits? Cakes? Crackers? Wraps? Pastries? Go into your kitchen. READ THE LABELS. If you find FOLIC ACID in the ingredients, take a photograph and post it below. Let’s build our own little supermarket investigation. 👀 Remember to sign the petition: petition.parliament.uk/petit…
Why does Scottish shortbread need Folic Acid added?

It is not the folic acid that worries me, it is that a precedent is being set for undisclosed ingredients being added to our diets for the public good. What will be added next where we won't even know about it?
The government said "individuals can avoid folic acid if they choose or need to." They then admitted that there would be a period where the labels did not say folic acid was in the food. Article link and petition in next tweet.

Almost ONE MONTH AGO I asked @AldiUK a very simple question, was this flour folic acid free or is it old packaging, several we are waiting for a reply messages later but NO answer, its not really good enough Aldi, we should be able to find out what’s in our food #folicacid
Good morning @AldiUK is this flour actually folic acid free please or are you still using old packaging? Trying to avoid it so it’d be good to know, thank you #folicacid

Hi @DoctorChrisVT please HELP get this message from @ClareCraigPath out about the dangers of synthetic folic acid in our food chain so we can STOP it as a mandate in our food before it comes in to full force in December 🙏🏻

Sons went in to school today with ham and cheese pancake rolls, they thought it was a treat, in reality it was 2 avoid giving them more of the synthetic folic acid that is apparently in everything, they are boys, they will never be pregnant, they don’t need it #syntheticfolicacid

Dear supermarkets and large food retailers, many people don't want or should not have synthetic folic acid in their diet. Please make it easier to find folic acid free foods. Thanks. @sainsburys @waitrose @marksandspencer @Tesco @Ocado @Morrisons @LidlGB @AldiUK

@ProstateUK Folic acid is a drug - and it’s been added to our food ! It causes prostate cancer …
Thanks, Clare. You're right. I've verified the definition of a drug at Merriam Webster: "a substance recognized in an official pharmacopoeia" (merriam-webster.com/dictiona…) Folic acid is indeed listed by the FDA as a drug: dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailyme… And in Britain: sigmaaldrich.com/AU/en/produ… And globally: store.usp.org/product/128600… In other words, your case is rock solid. Unlike folate, folic acid is a drug, and adding a drug into people's food by force is nothing short of criminal. Informed consent is a separate issue - the main issue is that folic acid is actually a drug. One can't pump drugs indiscriminately into an entire population. A drug must be targeted to an individual's needs. There is no provision in Bentham or Wiley (or anyone else in the origins of Western civilisation, I believe) to justify pumping a drug into ALL people as a preventative measure. (Of course, most economists - being slaves of the Fabian socialist Pigou - will gladly provide "justifications" for folic acid fortification, and will also conjure up a CBA. I think economists have done a lot of harm to society through their socialist inclinations.)

well you'd like to think so but fluoride is added to water supply and it is deemed a neurotoxin so...

Folic acid is not the same as the other things added to our bread. 1. Thiamin and niacin molecules are the same molecule as found in wholemeal and removed in milling. You can't overdose. 2. Iron and chalk are different salts to the ones found in food, you can overdose and people with haemochromatosis and kidney stones need to be careful about consumption. 3. Folic acid is a drug: a) It is synthetic and is never found in nature b) It needs to be converted by an inefficient enzyme before the body can use it (and has effects on the body in its unmetabolised state) c) It is being added for a medicinal purpose. d) People with certain medical conditions have to avoid it and the patient information leaflet that comes with the drug and the NHS both warn about these (including undiagnosed B12 deficency) e) It interacts with other medications that people take.

She admits all the women coming across on small boats have been raped, yet still they are all welcomed, protected,housed, fed, paid and given asylum. If this is the case, then it's infallible proof these men pose an incredible danger to UK women and children. Yet it continues

Adam - why don't you introduce the subject of Folic Acid being surreptitiously added to our food and bring it to everyone's attention. This also affects children. There is a petition which explains the concerns, but it is being suppressed. Please don't ignore this.

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.

ANYONE REMEMBER AGREEING to have your kids experimented on? This synthetic chemical WILL now be floating free in your children’s blood 24/7. The UK government has officially admitted they don't know the long-term safety of it. Sign the petition: petition.parliament.uk/petit…

Sadly many people cannot choose to avoid synthetic folic acid if they rely on others to supply their meals. Think toddlers, many elderly, disabled, those in hospital, care homes, schools relying on others that the food they eat is safe.The elderly especially require lower levels

Any ideas, anyone?? @ClareCraigPath
Experts are unsure what is driving the trend, but the number of breast, prostate, kidney, womb and liver cancer cases are all rising sharply among younger adults
