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.

The burden of proof lies with the people putting folic acid into our food. They have not done the work. There is evidence of harm. Sign the petition.

Out of 69 million people in this country, are you telling me we can’t get 100,000 signatures to end the mandatory fortification of white flour with synthetic folic acid? I’m in disbelief. Sign and share—let’s prove we can! petition.parliament.uk/petit…

The US government warns that 100 micrograms (0.1mg) of folic acid can be harmful. That is less than a sandwich in the UK now! No-one has thought this through. Sign the petition below.
One thick crust pizza is at the limit the law sets for over the counter use of folic acid per day... Sign the petition: petition.parliament.uk/petit…

If you are over 50 years old your limit on folic acid should be 200 micrograms. They are adding 250 micrograms to every 100g of flour. Below is NHS advice on if you take more than recommended amount. Petition in next tweet:
🚨WARNING🚨 If you are in two of the categories below you need to restrict your folic acid intake to about 80g of flour a day. Over the age of 50 - that is 38% of population or 26 MILLION people. Gov decided no more pizza for you! There was no debate! Sign the petition:

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…

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.

Folic acid is a synthetic chemical not found in nature. The body can convert it into a useful folate BUT... It is 1,300 times slower at doing this with folica acid than natural folate. The result is a backlog of unmetabolised folic acid (UMFA) which has harmful effects. 🖊️👇

Still not at 50,000 by the end of this week. Yesterday someone called this topic "niche". Here is why they are wrong and what you need to know about folic acid.

Nice diagram. Folic acid binds 10 times more tightly to folate receptor alpha which is the gateway for folate entering the brain. It does not let go. Functionally it blocks the receptor for normal folates.

Dear British People, Please accept the fate of your island quietly. We have chosen to let in hundreds of thousands of undocumented males from misogynist cultures but you are not allowed to protest. Any peaceful protest will be viewed as “thuggish and intimidating” because you’re all ghastly white working-class people, aren’t you? Bigots! What, a twelve-year-old boy raped? What, an 80-year-old man raped in a churchyard by an illegal migrant? Rhiannon Whyte stabbed 23 times in the head by an illegal migrant who had arrived 11 weeks earlier? Perfectly normal. Keep things in proportion. As Are Andy says those men have “other norms”. We appreciate you have voted at every general election against immigration and you want illegal migrants deported. And we have ignored you for many years. So now you think voting doesn’t work. Fair enough, we understand your concerns. But that is no excuse to take things into your own hands! Rest assured your government is doing everything it can to do nothing to stop the boats. We will launch a crackdown against anybody who tries to actually stop the boats. Meanwhile, everyone must take their fair share of the unfairness nobody voted for. Remember - Hope in every heart. A rapist in every postcode!
'It was thuggish and intimidating behaviour' Government minister Emma Reynolds reacted on #BBCBreakfast to a protest in Portsmouth on Sunday night after around 140 migrants arrived in a single dinghy that had crossed the English Channel. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/clye…

Under randomised conditions in rodents, folic acid: reduces MTHFR activity, restricts growth in the womb, shrinks the memory structures of the brain and impairs memory, weakens the immune cells that police viruses and tumours, shortens survival after infection and accelerates the growth of tumours that already exist. That is a long list of problems for a supposed vitamin that is being added to our food as a legal requirement. Link to article and petition below:

Two enzymes process folic acid. 100% of humans struggle to convert it to reduced folate. MTHFR variants in 40% of us affect how efficiently it is methylated. Natural folate arrives methylated. Way more folic acid is added to white flour than folate present in wholemeal.

If you want to help prevent men developing prostate cancer, protest the introduction of folic acid, that more than doubles the risk.
From 13 December every white loaf in Britain must contain folic acid, a synthetic compound the NHS says some people should avoid. Parliament never debated it. 100,000 signatures will secure that debate. We are past 56,000. Sign and share:

I just read a paper talking about "folic acid deficiency" causing neural tube defects. There is no such thing. It's like saying "statin deficiency" or "vaccine deficiency". Folate is a vitamin you can be deficient in. Folic acid is a drug. Petition 👇 xitter.cf/ClareCraigPath/status/…
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.
