This needs repeating.
The gov recommend that over 50s do not exceed 200 mcg of folic acid per day.
They are mandating 250 mcg per 100g of flour in ALL non-wholemeal flour including organic and imported flour.

Gov acknowledged there would be push back re folic acid.
Then snuck it in quietly.
"if actually proposed by UK politicians and policy makers, is likely to be met with considerable resistance."

Today has been such a good day!
Thank you @RupertLowe10

Restore Britain opposes the mandatory fortification of flour with synthetic folic acid.
Food should be left as natural as possible.
This petition is about to hit 100k, and that will allow me to speak in Parliament opposing it.
Please sign/share.

Gov says that there is not enough data to set a "safe upper limit" for folic acid exposure.
Same gov then puts it into our flour without a single safety trial!
Sign the petition.

💥Do you want to have a 20% increased risk of cancer ?
All humans struggle to break down ‘Synthetic Folic Acid’ because it is not a natural substance.
This leads to an increase in Synthetic Folic Acid in the body.
Increased Synthetic Folic Acid levels below 1000 micrograms a day gives a 20% increased cancer risk.
The average doses of Synthetic Folic Acid with mandated flour with be 250 micrograms per day.
Why would the Government want to mandate synthetic Folic Acid into our diets and increase our cancer risk by 20% ?
Just like the Covid mRNA ‘vaccines’ ?

Please sign the petition and stop you, your friends and family’s cancer risk increasing.

And here is the gov saying that 200 micrograms is max anyone over 50 should eat in a day.
So you can have the marmite, but you can't have the toast with it or any other flour that day!
Sign the petition.
Did you know that a thick spread of Marmite on thick white toast will instantly give you just over 100% (210µg) of the standard UK guideline for adult daily intake (which is 200 µg per day).

You don't need to read a single line of science to understand the folic acid issues.
Just read this.
Folic acid. Why is the Govt force-feeding the whole population to give a 20% potential benefit to <1%pa (pregnant women) and ignoring the risks for the 99% which even the NHS acknowledges. nhs.uk/medicines/folic-acid/ Sign the petition to stop this madness petition.parliament.uk/petit…

Flour has special protections in law.
Companies could not simply use fortified flour from USA or Canada. It would have been illegal.
Is there a trade reason the UK U-turned in folic acid?
Sign pettion - it only takes a moment.

The Government says individuals can avoid folic acid if they “choose to or need to”.
Why would they “need to”?
It is A CRIMINAL OFFENCE to “render food injurious to health” by adding to it.
Yet regulations made under that SAME LAW are mandating the addition of folic acid.

The @UKLabour Government has begun expanding mandatory water fluoridation in England, starting with more areas of the North East.

Do you love people with the conditions below?
Perhaps, you are one?
Let them know that folic acid is now in a huge variety of regular foods and they need to start examining the small print.
Then sign petition below so their needs can be considered in House of Comons debate.
Howard Monk retweeted
Folic acid is being added to our food but...
1. No one has set out what success / failure would look like and it could be claimed based on any future trajectory
2. There are ZERO plans to measure the negative impacts.
Article and petition both linked below.

Folic acid is turning up in surprising places.
