Today on the news the Government has announced that Folic Acid is to be added to flour and bread.
This is to help reduce cases of spina bifida at birth, apparently there are other benefits but conversely can cause vitimin problems in the elderly.
To still allow individual choice, Wholemeal bread will be exempt. What has happened to the push for less additives in food, will this be a re-run of Flouride in water?

They are putting in white flour for that plastic stuff,so you can choose which types you want to eat. and then there is the question of who needs to have a good chance to grow and thrive, a child or an elderly person.
