Please look into how folic acid interacts with people with gene mutations. The government started adding it to all grains in 1998. If you can’t convert it to folate (MTHFR mutation), it wreaks havoc in the body.
Also, please look into medical treatment being based on genetic mutations. Most of us have them and I believe this also contributes to the high rate in autism and disease. There are direct genetic pathways that are affected differently based on mutations and they’re basically all connected to disease patterns in the body. Very interesting and important and very few talk about it!
This is absolutely a great start. I would also like to include to ban every chemical and dye for products that is banned in other countries due to dire side effects.
Make Americans food safe and healthy again!
And please I would like to get QR codes banned for ingredient labels. I want to be able to see the ingredients without having go on the internet.
I personally sufferred multiple micarriages and struggled to get pregnant as a result of having a gene mutation called MTHFR. My doctor told me to eliminate folic acid and replace with folate and Methylated vitamins and afterwards I had 2 healthy children. I was about to start IVF, luckily my doctor tested me first fir MTHFR. Im sure some doctors dont just to get paid a heafty sum for IVF treatments and prey on those desperatly wanting children.
Dr Ben Lynch in his book Dirty Genes estimates 40% of the population has MTHFR including men, as a result our bodies cannot process synthetic folic acid.Its like poison and can cause many serious health effects including cardiovascular disease and cancer as our bodies cannot detox. The FDA required that folic acid be added to flour in 1997 to prevent spinal bifida in babies. Why not instead have expecting mothers take a prenatal vitamin with folate(the natural form of folic acid) instead of mass poisioning everyone in our food. Men that have MTHFR are sufferring heart attacks and cardiovascular disease at an alarming rate from the added synthetic folic acid as well.
It is very hard to avoid all enriched products (flour) with it added, including baby formula and I would like to have a choice about what is in my families food. France and Italy do not have this added to their food and report much less bloating and symptoms when eating carbs or flour products and dont have an influx of spinal bifida.
One example is all cereals in the US have been enriched with folic acid and children are sufferring with adhd, brain fog and cant sit still, then we medicate them to “fix” the problem…I believe it starts with correcting the diet.
Even with all the research I have personally done as a person affected by MTHFR, I am no expert, but can clearly see there is a need here for more research to be done on this topic. My gut is telling me the studies may uncover even more side effects and health issues this may cause or uncover the key to mysterious diseases like autoimmune disease.
Please remove the mandates for companies required to add folic acid or require companies use the natutal form of folate instead so it is not harmful for those with MTHFR.
Also, please make them stop the practice of concealing a dangerous food additive by changing its name. For example, XYLITOL is very toxic to dogs, so I don’t have it in the house. But now it is also known as Wood Sugar, Birch Sugar, and Birch Bark Extract. It is impossible for the average consumer to keep up with these names, and it harms us.
