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 that prevent the 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 well-being 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 a tiny percentage of our population is pregnant. Do we really need folic acid in Cheerios, Cheetos, and Oreos? Let's take this to Washington D.C. and demand a change.

Uzasadnienie
This petition is crucial for public health, as synthetic folic acid in food is linked to issues like ADHD, anxiety, high blood pressure, and more. Many people cannot properly process folic acid due to genetic mutations, leading to harmful side effects. Removing it from our food supply and replacing it with natural folate can prevent unnecessary health risks, reduce medication dependence, and promote overall well-being for everyone.

We have found out that this is an issue for my daughter. Unfortunately, we haven't been able to afford the testing for our family as a whole. Finding foods safe to eat is a challenge in itself, but now we have more challenges with finding foods safe from these synthetic ingredients. There needs to be better choices for those that are sicker because of the limited choice from enriched and fortified foods.
My whole family has MTHFR and we cannot break down folic acid in our bodies, so it's stored as a toxin. We detox 75-90 % slower than people who don't have MTHFR. We can hardly find flour without the man made folic acid and it's harming our health. If 50% of the population has a form of MTHFR then why are we poisoning half the nation? Please remove this man made vitamin and replace it with folate or even folinic acid so it's not harmful to half of the USA. Other countries do not do this.
I have the MTHFR-mutation myself, meaning my body can't process folic acid, leading to negative health consequences due to the folic acid used to fortify foods. The real cost incurred to society due to folic acid fortified foods will probably never be known, but it's never too late to change this trend.
