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

[Dr Clare Craig ✝️ @ClareCraigPath]

250 mcg is being added to every 100g of flour.
188 mcg remains after baking.
Gov limit for over 50s is 200 mcg.
That means your daily flour limit will be 106g of flour.

You would need to eat one sandwich 80-90g.

A regular sandwich made of 80–90 g of bread (50-60g of flour) could use up roughly half that allowance (94-113 mcg).

If you eat that sandwich, here's what else you would need to watch:

Breakfast cereals fortified with folic acid

Toast, crumpets, muffins and croissants

Biscuits, cakes and pastries

Pizza, pasta and noodles made with fortified flour

Pies, pasties and sausage rolls

Yorkshire puddings, stuffing and gravy containing fortified flour

Any vitamin supplements containing folic acid

And that's before you've counted any other sources of folic acid.

See how labour overdosing of folic acid works? They ARE aware of all this 👇

They KNOW who MUST avoid it.

They KNOW the medical harms it will cause millions.

They DO have the medical studies showing harms.

They KNOW it will have a negative impact on every age group.

🔎 THE GREAT BRITISH FOLIC ACID HUNT!
From December, synthetic folic acid will be added to most white wheat flour, potentially finding its way into hundreds of everyday packaged foods and baked goods.
The justification? To help prevent birth defects in babies.
An important goal. But here's a newsflash: WE'RE NOT ALL PREGNANT!
Too much folic acid can mask B12 deficiency, and according to NHS, some people need to limit or avoid it. So why should everyone have it added to their food without a choice?
I NEED YOUR HELP!
Find products WITHOUT added folic acid and share the brands below. Let's build our own shopping guide!
Sign the petition to stop mandatory fortification with synthetic folic acid.

Question - Inadvertent overdosing of Folic Acid by the elderly with all the additional hidden paths of consumption presented by the mandation of Folic Acid in so many of our basic foods

"AI Overview

Inadvertent folic acid overdosing in the elderly is a growing public health concern, primarily driven by the mandatory fortification of staple foods alongside widespread dietary supplement use. While folic acid (vitamin B9) is critical for preventing neural tube defects in newborns, its hidden ubiquity in the modern food supply presents unique, unintended health risks for older populations.

The "Hidden Paths" of Consumption

Elderly individuals often cross the Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL) of 1,000 micrograms (mcg) per day of synthetic folic acid without realizing it. This happens through three overlapping pathways:
Mandatory Fortification: Governments worldwide mandate the addition of folic acid to enriched grain products like breads, cereals, flours, and pastas.
Voluntary Fortification: Processed foods, such as ready-to-eat breakfast cereals, energy bars, and plant-based milks, are often heavily fortified voluntarily, sometimes providing 100% of the daily value in a single serving.
Dietary Supplements: Many seniors routinely take multivitamins, age-specific "Silver" formulas, or targeted bone/heart supplements that contain high doses of folic acid.

Health Risks for the Elderly

Unlike natural folate found in leafy greens, synthetic folic acid requires a specific enzyme (dihydrofolate reductase) to convert into a usable form. This enzymatic process is easily saturated, leading to unmetabolized folic acid (UMFA) circulating in the blood. In older adults, this causes several distinct complications:

1. Masking Vitamin B12 Deficiency

Vitamin B12 deficiency is common in the elderly due to age-related declines in stomach acid (atrophic gastritis) and poor absorption.
Both B12 and folate deficiencies cause megaloblastic anemia (large, abnormal red blood cells).
High intakes of folic acid can "correct" the anemia, tricking standard blood tests into showing a normal reading.
Because the underlying B12 deficiency remains hidden and untreated, irreversible neurological damage—including cognitive decline, numbness, walking difficulties, and dementia-like symptoms—can progress unchecked.

2. Cognitive Decline Acceleration

Recent studies suggest a dual-effect relationship between folate and B12. In older adults with low B12 levels, high circulating levels of folic acid are strongly associated with accelerated cognitive impairment and a higher risk of developing dementia.

3. The "Dual Effect" on Cancer Risk

Folate is necessary for healthy DNA synthesis, but excessive synthetic folic acid can act as a double-edged sword. While adequate folate prevents early tumor initiation, excessive folic acid can accelerate the growth of existing pre-cancerous lesions or colorectal adenomas, which are more prevalent in older populations."

PLEASE SIGN the petition against the folic acid agenda!

THIS is the final push, & @RupertLowe10 will raise this in Parliament.

Our health is at stake! PLEASE SIGN!

@ClareCraigPath @HilaryWallace1 @jemmm85517813 👍🏼No To FOLIC ACID! 💥👊🏼

[Alan @A1an_M]

Soreen was developed by Danish-born John Rahbek Sorenson about 100 years ago at his Manchester bakery.
The original recipe is a secret, but I'm sure it didn't contain any unnecessary and potentially harmful medicine.
But the 2026 recipe must, by law.
Down with this sort of thing.

[Alan @A1an_M]

100,000! We made it!
I sat and watched live. 🙄🙂
Thank you everyone who signed!
Let's get folic acid out of flour.
@ClareCraigPath

[Alan @A1an_M]

Folic acid. In potato scones.

For crying out loud!

I AM NOT A SOON-TO-BE PREGNANT WOMAN!

I DON'T NEED FOLIC ACID!

I just want to eat a nice tattie scone, free of unnecessary and potentially harmful medicines!

[Jackie @spofl3556]

@hunkiedorie My bread maker does a decent fruit cake as it’s a slow steady cook but not suitable if you need to vary the temperature during the baking process 👍🏼

[Jeferz McD @jeferzmcd]

@hunkiedorie Until they start labelling them Folic Acid Free, Im assuming they're all poisoned. White, Brown, Wholemeal the lot

[Jackie @spofl3556]

@djtgoodie @hunkiedorie @asda Not so for @marksandspencer !
I was mistaken into thinking it was free of FOLIC ACID ☠️ but they’ve contaminated that also 🤡

[Jackie @spofl3556]

@ukmfa1 @RupertLowe10 I tried eating out yesterday - it’s a minefield for those of us that must avoid FOLIC ACID - and now that’s ALMOST EVERYONE! 😳

Just having a FA free snack while shopping is nigh on impossible. Surely this will adversely impact the hospitality sector??
💥💥💥
@ClareCraigPath

[angie currie @hunkiedorie]

There are still small mills making decent flour without the addition of folic acid 👍🏻......off to the bread-making machine !

[Jackie @spofl3556]

@hunkiedorie I’m still searching …… 🤨!

[Jackie @spofl3556]

@JacquiDeevoy1 @jones_pdj Pardon my ignorance, Jacqui! What’s a distiller and where would I get one? I buy filter cartridges at home (ceramic type) but £££! 😳

[upforthefight @upforthefight1]

Fishfingers & mcCain chips for tea? Overdose for you 😡

Folic acid chip sandwich with folic acid bread?
Overdose for you 🤢

Marmite sandwich?
Double Overdose again for you 😱

Cereals/weetabix for brekkie on top?

Ring 999, 111 or visit A&E, GP or PHARMACIST 👇👇
