@Waitrose has closed the door on a customer trying to avoid synthetic folic acid.
After weeks of correspondence (Case 19308882) they wrote:
“Please refer to my email on 20/10, where I advised that we are unable to assist you further on this matter, as all available information has already been shared. Please note that while any further correspondence will be logged on your file, it may not be responded to.”
One slice of fortified bread is fine. Ordinary daily intake of bread + cereal + pie/pastry + biscuits easily exceeds 300–450 μg — well over the 200 μg level previously advised for over-50s because of B12-masking risk.
A substantial part of Waitrose’s core customer base is over 50. They have no system to identify folic-acid-free products and no plan to warn customers about cumulative exposure.
@ClareCraigPath has highlighted the issues with unmetabolised folic acid and the limits of the safety data. Retailers following the mandate still have a duty to consider cumulative effects under the Food Safety Act.
Sadly I will now not be doing my Xmas shopping @JohnLewisRetail as I normally do.

Could you please publish the list of items sold within store that do not contain the drug FOLIC ACID. I, like like thousands of others with cancer cannot consume. It’s detrimental to our health and treatment. Children and others should not consume either.

Restore Britain opposes the mandatory fortification of flour with synthetic folic acid.
Food should be left as natural as possible.
This petition is about to hit 100k, and that will allow me to speak in Parliament opposing it.
Please sign/share.

Do you think @CR_UK @macmillancancer @bowelcanceruk @YouthCancerYCT @ProstateUK @BCCare are aware that synthetic folic acid is being added to all flour except wholemeal. And that the NIH has warned against cancer patients taking folic acid supplements.

This is superb. Please watch.
They taught you snow is black.
Trump didn’t ban the press for sport. He hit a propaganda machine Bertrand Russell wrote the manual for — mass psychology so you never ask where your convictions came from.
$6 diesel isn’t “Trump broke it.” It’s thirty years of zero-growth policy.

If a food chain opened up bakeries without using Folic Acid they’d make a fortune.
Come on someone let’s show these businesses that we don’t want Folic acid in our foods.

Well well well. More of these can only be good. Small millers and artisan bakers?
We are going to be having some of our Radmore wheat (we didnt use glysophate) made into foods you can eat and buy.
Including flour, pasta and biscuits.
No folic acid. No additives. No nastys. Just pure as it should be.

Ed Davey has written to Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson demanding she WITHDRAW official EHRC guidance protecting female-only spaces in toilets and changing rooms.
Let that land.
The Equalities and Human Rights Commission — a statutory body — has produced legally grounded guidance telling employers and public bodies that biological men should not access women’s single-sex spaces.
This is not opinion.
This is not politics.
This is the settled legal position following the Supreme Court’s landmark ruling on the meaning of “woman” under the Equality Act.
And Ed Davey wants it gone.
His stated reason?
The guidance is not “compatible with long-standing British values.”
British values.
He used those words to argue AGAINST protecting women’s single-sex spaces.
The same Liberal Democrats who lecture the country about tolerance, inclusion and human rights are now lobbying a Labour minister to tear up statutory guidance that protects every woman in Britain who walks into a changing room, a refuge or a hospital ward.
This is not a fringe position within the Lib Dems.
Their leader wrote the letter.
The party has chosen its side.
It is not the side of women.
Repost if you think women’s single-sex spaces should be protected.

.@marksandspencer Hello! We want women's changing rooms and we want them now. We are not fooled by your slippery attempt at renaming them "fitting rooms - it's different". Not buying your clothes till you reinstate the female changing rooms. Plus we're going to make a BIG FUSS.
