Mass Medication by Stealth: The Case Against Mandatory Folic Acid in Flour

🍞The UK Government is to join many other countries in making folic acid fortification of flour compulsory, supposedly to prevent birth defects. But what if, in trying to prevent a small number of tragedies, we are creating others?

The main issues with the folic acid mandate:

📍The body wants folate, not folic acid.

📍Folic acid is likely to be overconsumed.

📍 Folic acid is a drug. This mandate would mass medicate the population.

📍 Folic acid should not be consumed by many people.
