I have had my head down working hard to gather all the evidence re FOLIC ACID into one place. The result is this book. Please buy, read and consider buying one for your MP too.

Are the millers going to say they just obeyed orders? They have a lot of power. Worst case scenario they get an "enforcement order" not a prison sentence.

Lets start putting pressure on these guys - let them say NO TO THE LAW!!!

The government promised "choice". This is what that looks like.
Scottish Corn millers Guild estimated small-scale mills across the UK produce approximately 700 tonnes of non-wholemeal wheat flour p/a. Approximate equivalent of 467,000 1.5 kg bags of flour per year. That’s less than 3.6 bags (or 5.4 kg) for each petition signature.

Can any MP answer this question?
Replying to @whateverX22
I’ve tried to find bread and rolls today in Morrisons that doesn’t contain added folic acid - a a cancer sufferer I cannot have it. Even their whole meal contains it. I could find nothing other than hard sourdough - what are we cancer people meant to eat. It’s in so much

Everyone should watch this.
“You can vote for a different party, but the agenda never changes.” Bernie Spofforth takes aim at the UN’s unelected influence, arguing that politicians carry out its agenda while voters are shut out @Artemisfornow A blistering speech which everyone needs to take notice of. Watch in full 👇

Hey @waitrose, how many people need to share this before you reply?
Replying to @waitrose
@Waitrose has closed the door on a customer trying to avoid synthetic folic acid. After weeks of correspondence (Case 19308882) they wrote: “Please refer to my email on 20/10, where I advised that we are unable to assist you further on this matter, as all available information has already been shared. Please note that while any further correspondence will be logged on your file, it may not be responded to.” One slice of fortified bread is fine. Ordinary daily intake of bread + cereal + pie/pastry + biscuits easily exceeds 300–450 μg — well over the 200 μg level previously advised for over-50s because of B12-masking risk. A substantial part of Waitrose’s core customer base is over 50. They have no system to identify folic-acid-free products and no plan to warn customers about cumulative exposure. @ClareCraigPath has highlighted the issues with unmetabolised folic acid and the limits of the safety data. Retailers following the mandate still have a duty to consider cumulative effects under the Food Safety Act.

Perhaps before the debate on 14th December, some MPs might like to try avoiding folic acid in their diet for a week.
It is almost impossible, I know the effects SFA had on me and I know the big difference now I’m free of it but it means a very restricted diet. Gov have absolutely no idea how hard it is to avoid or the extra cost sourcing ingredients without the nasty synthetic drug!

Gov has made it almost impossible to avoid folic acid. Manufacturers and retailers are not helping either @waitrose What are people with cancer, heart stents, B12 deficiency and those who don't want an increased risk of cancer meant to do?

Please write to your MP and ask them to attend. Now more than ever they need pressure to read about this topic. Parliamentary questions have been put by several Lib Dems, two conservatives and one labour and Rupert Lowe has endorsed the petition.
On 13th December 2026, folic acid will be mandated in non-wholemeal flour in UK including imported and organic flour. On 14th December 2026, the House of Commons will debate that unethical and unsafe law.

This!
Replying to @ClareCraigPath
What I find difficult is that the soil association lets the flour with folic acid in still be called “organic” because of the mandate!! They should have the balls and drop it like a mill-stone

I am guilty again of slipping into blaming Pfizer for BioNTech decisions.
Replying to @ClareCraigPath
It is just amazing, and a tribute to the power of the algorithm, that BioNTech is no longer mentioned at all. Pfizer could not have taken any such decision, since, as you know, it’s not Pfizer’s product.

Pfizer and Moderna products were very similar. Moderna rejected the commonest and cheapest buffer. Pfizer used it anyway. Then switched to the Moderna one in October 2021. In the meantime, more people died after Pfizer.

I knew a single mum who made huge sacrifices to train as a nurse. She was loved by patients and staff and got distinctions in her ward placement assessments. She could not write an essay and was failed. The bar is too high if you're from here.
Kemi Badenoch has noticed something that isn't normal about the staff in NHS hospitals that has boiled her piss.
