FOLIC ACID DANGERS
Folic Acid vs. Folate:
They're NOT the Same
- the difference matters more than you know.
FOLATE is the natural form of vitamin B9 found in leafy greens, liver, eggs, and legumes
The name comes from the Latin word folium, meaning "leaf," because that's where it belongs: in food.
FOLIC ACID
- a synthetic compound invented in 1943 that doesn't exist in nature.
Pregnancy Concern:
What Every Mom Needs to Know
To Clarify:
adequate folate status is NOT the same as
folic acid supplements.
Two major studies have found concerning links between high folic acid exposure and neurodevelopmental outcomes:
The evidence is clear:
Here’s the issue:
Your body can only process ~200 mcg of folic acid per day.
The DHFR enzymes becomes saturated at this threshold
- DHFR - the key enzyme in folate metabolism that helps the body convert folic acid into forms the body can use
Everything above 200 mcg of folic acid accumulates as unmetabolized folic acid (UMFA) in your bloodstream
Folic acid accumulates in over 95% of Americans:
- suppresses immune function
- blocks brain folate transport
- masks B12 deficiency, - concerning associations with neurodevelopmental outcomes in children.
Meanwhile, natural folate forms
—methylfolate and folinic acid—provide all the benefits without these risks.
Researchers were explicit:
Higher concentrations of cord UMFA—but not natural folate—were associated with greater AUTISM RISK
… Your baby gets UMFA in the womb, through breast milk, and in every bottle of formula—during the most critical window of brain development.
UMFA blocks real folate from entering your brain - 95% of Americans have detectable UMFA in their blood -—essentially blocking the doorway.

FOLIC ACID vs FOLATE
- continued
High UMFA is associated with reduced immune function.
Studies show
- decreased natural killer cell numbers
AND
- decreased activity
With folic acid supplementation.
1- Colorectal cancer rates spiked after fortification began
US and Canada saw "abrupt reversals" of declining cancer trends precisely when folic acid entered the food supply.
2- Folic acid masks B12 deficiency—while neurological damage continues unchecked.
3- High cord blood UMFA is linked to increased neurodevelopmental disorder risk
- AUTISM RISK
4- Children in the highest quartile had 2.26x higher neurodevelopmental risk; there is a significant RACIAL TARGETING with a 9.85-fold higher association observed among Black children.
5- High-dose folic acid damages sperm DNA methylation, interfering with male fertility.. Men given 5mg daily showed widespread loss of methylation across their sperm genome.
See what your government is enforcing:
the FDA mandates that all infant formula must contain folic acid⁷²—while natural folate forms like methylfolate and folinic acid are not approved for use in formula
Research shows that high folic acid consumption actually inhibits the natural ‘MTHFR enzyme’
—creating what scientists call "pseudo-MTHFR deficiency."⁵⁶ Even if you have perfectly normal genes, consuming too much folic acid can make your body function as if you have a genetic variant.
The US & Canada have introduced Folic Acid into
- Organic & non- organic flour, gluten free foods, baby formulas, cereals & many food products you purchase at the supermarket.
Mainstream Warnings Published :
To avoid Folic Acid if you have the following:
Those with …Cancers, Vitamin B12 deficiency, Heart stents to name a few. -you have to question this !
Isn’t this a huge part of the aging population !!
Understand that FOLATE is essential for every cell to function in your body.
You've been doing everything you can to optimize your health.
- You've carefully chosen organic produce for your family.
- You've switched to clean beauty products. You read every ingredient label.
While you've been doing everything right, there's one ingredient quietly undermining your family's health.
Government-mandated in nearly every processed grain product you buy.
It’s time to look at what's hiding in plain sight
- make the switch to real, natural folate.
Folate is the natural form of vitamin B9 found in leafy greens, liver, eggs, and legumes—foods humans have eaten for thousands of years
France & Italy restricted Folic Acid in their flour & other food ingredients.
- no gluten sensitivities from these foods

I will then expand to the bigger picture of how our bodies regulate to keep us healthy.
Is it A biochemical process or biophysical?
Consider this:
When a plant is sick, you don’t change the plant, you change the environment in order for the plant to heal and thrive.

How do we start to reclaim our health?
- as Dr Mercola also shared
Reclaiming Health requires rejecting modern habits that prioritize convenience at the cost of your health and returning to fundamental principles:
- nutrient-dense food
- regular movement
- minimizing exposure to environmental toxins

Traditional Diets are:
- fresh
- unprocessed
- seasonal foods from local sources
- without artificial additives or preservatives
Past Practices:
Eating followed the natural seasons
- People ate what was available locally, cycling through different foods throughout the year.
Foods provided complete nutrition with whole ingredients and basic traditional preparation methods.

Mitochondrial Function
- Important in Reclaiming Health
Mitochondria are the energy centres within each cell of your body
- restore your body's energy production
- make small, meaningful adjustments
- rebuild the strength and resilience your body craves.

Short Summary:
- Avoid fast foods
- the ingredients you cannot understand or pronounce are not compatible with your microbiome .. those ingredients are made
In a laboratory
Our bodies are designed to interface into nature.
Synthetic food is poisonous to our bodies. They have a negative epigenetic impact on the human body.

Organic Food
Food that’s grown without chemically spraying plants or feeding animals GMO grains or injecting animals
Farmer’s Markets are everywhere these days. In many cases, less expensive than supermarket food.
Farm to Table
-ideal for city dwellers who are not growing food.
Talk to the farmers
- most are organic
- many have delivery service or locations that are convenient for you.
