Partner positions
Dislikes
We oppose HB1912 because a significant portion of the population has issues tolerating synthetic folic acid. Additionally, the government already mandates synthetic folic acid fortification in many wheat products, so there is no shortage of options for those who prefer or want the synthetic version.
Senator Murdock should not be telling citizens what they can purchase from the grocery store.
Synthetic folic acid has a high, unacceptable level of risk and danger for children's neurological and immune status. Should NOT be added to food.
No medical mandates! Folic acid is dangerous for many.
Not everyone can process folic acid.
