In Part 1 of this two-part interview, Dr Liz Evans sits down with diagnostic pathologist and HART co-chair Dr Clare Craig to shine a light onto the little-known, but potentially serious, risks to health from the UK's recent mandate requiring the fortification of white flour with the synthetic drug folic acid. A move that violates informed consent and restricts consumer choice.Dr Craig explains the background to the decision to mass-medicate the public, and breaks down the flawed rationale behind the new UK law, passed in November 2024, requiring non-wholemeal wheat flour to be fortified with synthetic folic acid. The amendment passed to the Bread and Flour Regulations (covering England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland), places a legal requirement on millers and flour producers to add folic acid to non-wholemeal wheat flour, which comes into full effect at the end of 2026.A few exceptions to fortification are allowed (for now) including; wholewheat flour, flour produced by small mills (in the UK or any other country), and flour produced to make communion wafers, matzos, gluten or starch.While natural folate is a fundamental, bioavailable nutrient found in whole foods, synthetic folic acid behaves entirely differently in the human body. Dr Craig explains how this synthetic product floods the bloodstream, blocks key brain receptors, and relies on safety data derived from animal studies that do not translate to human biology.Key Takeaways from Part 1:The “Survivorship” Data Flaw: Early safety data from a prominent Hungarian trial revealed a startling truth—nine babies died for every single neural tube defect (NTD) prevented.Statistical Illusions: Observational population data from the US CDC, claiming that increasing folic acid intake reduces NTDs, overlooked the huge concurrent rise in advanced ultrasound diagnostics and targeted terminations for babies with NTDs during the 1990s.Industrial Influence & Toxic Dosing: The pharmaceutical industry pushed for recommended daily allowances of folic acid to be artificially doubled, creating a environment where standard diets, combined with supplementation and fortification of foods, can expose citizens to massive, unmonitored doses of this synthetic drug.Fortification of Flour Violates Informed Consent: Adding a synthetic drug to a staple food is unethical as it is the mass-medication of the public without individual consent. It is a one-size-fits all approach which does not take into account the different genetic or nutritional variations in processing folic acid, or control of the dose, leaving some people more at risk of serious side-effects and toxicity. The individual dose of folic acid will vary widely, depending on the amount of fortified flour in the diet.Widespread Health Vulnerabilities: Fortifying staple foods poses serious risks to around 40% of the population who carry the MTHFR gene mutation, and who cannot metabolise folic acid efficiently. The build up of unmetabolized folic acid can also mask vitamin B12 deficiencies (which produces symptoms mimicking dementia) and has been show in studies to increase the risk of developing colorectal polyps and prostate cancer, as well as causing side-effects such as headaches, anxiety, sleep and digestive issues.Practical Advice: Learn how you can avoid unwanted medication by reading food labels carefully and sourcing unfortified flour from small independent mills.Calls to Action: It is important to raise awareness and lobby for a repeal to this law, by writing to your MP to raise the issues discussed in this podcast.Please sign this Parliamentary petition (ends on 26 June 2026) calling on the Government “to amend the law to ensure there are at least one non-wholemeal flour option without folic acid fortification, and to exempt organic flour from mandatory folic acid fortification requirement from December 2026.”UKMFA: CALL TO ACTION: Please follow us and subscribe on our YouTube and Rumble channels and please share our content on social media and with friends and family, to help us get the message out and increase our reach.All our podcasts can also be found on the major audio platforms e.g. Apple and Spotify.Our Substack is found here: https://substack.com/@ukmfa1We are grateful for all donations to help us to continue and grow our work; lobbying decision makers; educating and empowering the public; running campaigns and producing our podcasts.

“Love is not what you say.

I thought she was being petty.当时的我完全不懂， 甚至觉得她有点小气。I was trying to build my future— why couldn't she just be happy for me?我只是想为自己的未来努力—— 为什么她不能单纯替我开心呢？Three months later, my mom passed away in her sleep.三个月后， 妈妈在睡梦中离开了。When I was going through her belongings, I found something in her drawer.当我在整理她的遗物时， 在抽屉里发现了一样东西。A life insurance policy—just three months old.一份保单——才刚满三个月。She bought it right after that phone call.她是在那通电话之后买的。And the beneficiary… was me.而受益人……是我。In that moment, everything became clear.那一刻， 一切都明白了。She wasn't being selfish.她并不是自私。She was loving me in the only way she knew how.她只是用她会的方式， 在爱我。� 女性限定｜15分钟人生方向釐清对话如果你正在思考更自由的人生，请到网页flywithlily.com/discover预约加入女性支持社群的云雀实验室，请加微信：iflywithlily海外同学，请试着登入官网flywithlily.com/6am 了解详情
