Folic Acid (the synthetic version of Vitamin B9) in our food supply is directly correlated with many health issues including bloating, heartburn, trouble falling asleep or staying asleep, ADHD, adult-onset ADHD, autism, anxiety, depression, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, post-partum depression, brain fog, OCD, feeling "tired but wired", etc.
Folic Acid affects YOU! Since the completion of the human genome project in 2001, we can see that Folic Acid impacts our methylation cycle. There are hundreds of studies showing the detrimental effect of this synthetic additive. Almost 100% of people have one or more of the DNA mutations which prevent breakdown of Folic Acid in the body.
Folic Acid is added to the food supply under the names "
fortified" or "
enriched." This includes many foods such as crackers, cookies, breads, pasta, flours (wheat, rice, and corn), gluten-free products, energy drinks, multivitamins, protein powders, etc.
The most common medications prescribed in the USA are directly related to side effects caused by Folic Acid in the diet. These include medications for high cholesterol, heartburn, sleep, anxiety, depression, allergies, high blood pressure, and ADHD.
The burden of multiple medications and the painful side effects they bring may be avoided if folic acid and fortified/enriched ingredients are removed from our food supply. This is not just about improving health and wellbeing, but also about promoting a healthier lifestyle for everyone.
Folic Acid was added to the food supply starting in 1993 to prevent neural tube defects in pregnancy. In terms of absolute risk, Folic Acid has NOT made a meaningful change in birth defects. A better option would be Folate (the natural version of Vitamin B9), which doesn't cause unwanted side effects like the ones listed above.
Folic acid is now the most common additive in our food supply, even though only tiny percentage of our population is pregnant. Do we really need Folic Acid in Cheerios, Cheetos and Oreos?
Let's take this all the way to Washington D.C. and demand a change.
