@AmmousMD I assume that also rules out coffee and tea for most people.

@Starbase2023 @AmmousMD Do you happen to have the study name so that I can read it? Thanks.

The government is adding folic acid to all UK flour by law this December. They call it a public health win. What they are not telling you is that folic acid is not folate.

Folic acid is the synthetic oxidised form of vitamin B9. To become usable, the body has to convert it using an enzyme called DHFR into 5-methyltetrahydrofolate, the active form your cells can actually work with.

A significant portion of the population carries variants of the MTHFR gene that impair this conversion. Enzyme activity can drop by up to 70 percent. Unmetabolised folic acid accumulates in the blood instead.

I carry an MTHFR variant. Most people who do have no idea. They eat their fortified bread and assume they are getting folate. They are not. They are accumulating a synthetic compound their body cannot process efficiently.

No screening.
No individual consideration.
No acknowledgement that the conversion pathway exists. Just mandatory fortification for every single person in the country.

Real folate is found in food. Liver is the most concentrated source and it delivers folate already in the active 5-MTHF form.
No conversion needed.
No gene variant problem.

They are adding a synthetic vitamin to a food that drives metabolic dysfunction and calling it progress.

I don’t eat bread anymore but if you still eat bread, choose 100% wholemeal, rye, or ancient grain varieties like spelt or einkorn. These are exempt from the law. White and standard brown bread are not.

Do you know if you carry an MTHFR variant?

@DrHoenderkamp @photobiogenesis I know you post on the B vitamins a lot - thoughts on risks of getting excess folic acid?

[Andy Unitt @UnittAndy]

@ChrisMasterjohn @webdevMason if you are interested.

[Renée Hoenderkamp @DrHoenderkamp]

The only people who need folic acid supplementation are nearly or pregnant women. For the rest of us, being forced to have it is not benign but potentially deadly! Sign…

@BioavailableNd Hi Andrea, what would you say a sensible RDA is? I get 500 MG from a natural supplement, 250 MG from absorbic acid, plus seasonal fruits and veggies.

@fmfclips Hi Rhonda, do you have any concerns about the Saponin content of oats, and if that’s detrimental to the permeability of your intestinal walls? I remember Kruse saying in his book to stay well away from them. Any insight would be appreciated. Thank you.

[Andy Unitt @UnittAndy]

@trikomes Hi Nick, does the timing of consumption matter? Would it make a difference if I ate O3 and O6 dominant foods together, or split them into different meals?

[Andy Unitt @UnittAndy]

@photobiogenesis Seems like it’s time to layoff Bryan Johnson’s is protein powders then…

[Andy Unitt @UnittAndy]

@bryan_johnson Bryan, do you know what the approx concentration of saponin is in a serving of both your protein powders? I am concerned about the affects of saponins on intestinal permeability and membrane integrity. Thank you!

@Elocin_712 I finally got my turn after 4 1/2 hours. I need to discover all of the adult tickets have been sold out! My son was in tears this morning.

[Andy Unitt @UnittAndy]

@brittbarnim I queued for 4 1/2 hours I did not get anything. My son was in tears this morning.

[Andy Unitt @UnittAndy]

@SWReXG @gallandro1 I would love for that to be true!

[Andy Unitt @UnittAndy]

@SaschaTRE @SW_Celebration I know it was an absolute joke as so many people missed out on tickets. Complete madness, allowing you to buy that many in one go.

[Andy Unitt @UnittAndy]

@MickeysWorlld @sw_holocron Rubbish. I missed out aswell.

[Andy Unitt @UnittAndy]

@Tellit007 @SamaHoole Do you have the link for the study?

[Andy Unitt @UnittAndy]

@SimonBiohacker Thank you I will check it out.

[Andy Unitt @UnittAndy]

@HohlyMohly @SmarterSig @ChrisMasterjohn This was a really interesting post!
