Hi @marksandspencer your 'only 6 ingredients' toasting loaf contains wheat flour which has 7 additional ingredients including folic acid, a man-made drug making the total ingredients 13. I think people should know and you should correct this nonsense claim.
"The Real Bread Campaign has been questioning and challenging the so-called ‘fortification’ of flour since 2009, including through public consultations that successive governments have run. Our belief remains that there are better ways to improve public health and nutrition than involuntary mass medication of our nations, which effectively denies most of us our right to choose what goes into the food we eat."

Public health evangelists get very carried away.
Folic acid is a drug and yet they claim (without evidence) that there should be no upper limit!

Manufacturers were given TWO YEARS to sort out their packaging and processes to comply with folic acid mandate in December.
They are admitting to breaking the law and adding folic acid without proper labelling.
What was the point of the TWO YEARS if they are going to do that?
There is evidence that folic acid in pregnancy increases risk of diabetes in pregnancy.
Does it increase risk of diabetes in other groups?
No one has looked.
Looking at USA that might well be the case...
Companies fortified form 1996 to prep for mandate.
The documents Pfizer tried to hide for 75 years will make your blood boil.
270 pregnant women got vaccinated during Pfizer's study.
234 of those pregnancy records completely VANISHED!
That's a COVER-UP!
Of the 36 women they actually tracked, over 80% LOST THEIR BABIES and Pfizer knew it!
Pfizer and their FDA pals wanted these documents sealed until 2096 because Big Pharma and their cronies at the FDA, CDC, and NIH KNEW the truth from DAY ONE.
They knew pregnant women were at risk.
They knew babies were dying.
They pushed it anyway because there's too much money at stake.
The same agencies that told us it was "safe and effective" were the same ones HIDING all the data proving otherwise.
Crimes Against Humanity!
Australia added folic acid in 2009.
Only one report was published claiming success.
It compared an 18 month window without showing background rate of decline.
Since then all data referencing neural tube defects have changed or gone silent.

End the mandatory fortification of white flour with folic acid.
Please sign this petition.
Even if you don’t eat flour (as I don’t) please resist government mass medication of the population and the harm that this will do to others.
Thankyou🙏 https://t.co/VAl5Z9iet2
If this mandate does get prevented – and it should – it will be almost single handedly down to Clare’s research, campaigning and explanation of the issue.

There was no scientific impact assessment on adding folic acid to our food.
All that was done was a de minimis financial impact assessment.
That contained many flaws:

It won't stop at beef tortelloni and stroganoff.
Experts have already expressed intention to add folic acid to rice.

If you give them an inch on mass medication of the food...
