Fuss increased after reports of studies that folic acid might increase rates of prostate and other cancers. Bakers possibly didn't want to be accountable (morally or legally) if cancers could be related to their product.
Current Government advice is based on latest study showing no increased risk.
Rumours are organic bread and homemade stuff not to be included.

Anyone know of a bread company for sale?
Cause I'm picking that the first one to run a "Looking after future generations" campaign that chooses to put B9 in it's bread (and donate $50c from every loaf sold to Spina Bifida research) may just get a bunch of free PR. -
Does the target demographic eat bread? Hence my RTD suggestion.

Here's a trailer for an interesting Doco. on the other side of the argument.

i) I worry that iodine in salt is less effective given the shift to no or low salt diets but I can't find any data on this. Should we stop that too ?
ii) I can't get over how strange this dabate is - get vitamin B9 for free in something that is not that bad for you (on its own) Or you could try Vitamin Water at $3:00 a bottle.

81st - the opposite, according to this paper. We use less iodised table salt, but consume more food with the salt already added, which isn't iodised.
Urban legend has it that goitre is spreading like wildfire amongst the households of Khandallah and Remuera, who have switched from Cerebos to Maldon. Sounds a bit dodgy to me.
Oddly, most of our iodine consumption comes from the chemicals they use to clean out dairy equipment - it gets into our milk, but in a good way. Changes to dairy processes mean that we're getting less.

Those others are aborted, when its detected. For some no big deal , for others to have an abortion may be a terrible experience
Not always. If you're late having your scan, you may be too far along to abort. And then, while you're mulling over whether you're going to abort, because you know it's the sensible thing to do but the reality is much tougher than you thought, the baby dies. In this case, one has to give birth as usual, albeit induced. Ain't no picnic.
The only up side is the vast amounts of drugs they're only too happy to provide :-)

And also, while the concept of abortion is no big deal to many people, losing a fetus you actually want, after you've seen the 20 week ultrasound and felt the kicks, would be pretty terrible regardless of your position on the pro-choice/anti-abortion spectrum. Preventing this from happening strikes me as something worth doing.

Is it only me or does this piece of journalism seem like an almost incoherrant ramble; I had to read the thing three times to get the idea that folic acid is, what? Good, bad, ugly.
Not surprising really NZ journalism and blogging must surely count as some of the lowest in the OECD world. Check out the Herald bafoonery on the extremely important TaitoPhillip-Fields corruption allegations. He's guilty of course, and a fucking vile liar. What does the Herald do? An innocuous wet grape piece of coverage that a schoolgirl could have written.
Please, please give us some reporting, or failing that, how about some fucking information!

LInky yourself .Offered by others and updated for the piece ages ago. Also who said this was reporting? Sorry but this folic acid issue has been in the arena for some time now so surely if you are that interested, couldn't you like oh, I dunno maybe, even do some research and accept this piece for the opinion it may be?

Is it only me
yes.
pls see Sophie's comment above.

Wooo who pushed your angry button Rob? This is a forum for discussion and of course the odd wry observations. Where does it say anything about journalism? Links to sites and information from informed commentators are posted to allow people to make their own minds up. Try the links on the original post. If you're still not happy, try the "Your Views" on the Herald website, I'm sure you'll be welcome there.

I like a challenge. Thank you.
I do occasionally offer reporting in this forum. I'll give it a crack again soon. But the more intriguing one is this:
An innocuous wet grape piece of coverage that a schoolgirl could have written.
That's a new form to me. 'Innocuous' and 'schoolgirl' I'm pretty sure I can emulate, but 'wet grape', well, there you have the advantage of me, I'm afraid.
He's guilty of course, and a fucking vile liar.
Can I assume I should offer my forthcoming reports in the pre-judged fashion favoured by Fox News?

You're sounding pretty incoherrant yourself. Although I must admit I quite like the idea of bafoonery.
-
inco-errant.

I don't mind if they put folate in my bread but who asked permission to put palm oil in my chocolate?

The bafoon is an over-rated instrument of limited range. Better to take up the strumpet.

If you can't find a strumpet you can always try a solo on the pink oboe.

It's all a conspiracy!

wet grape
I'm intrigued. This feels like a compliment out of context. Who likes dry grapes? Ah HA! Raisins! So it's the opposite of a raisin piece. Which may be an elaborate play on raison d'etre. So... this post... is... not a reason for being?
Still intrigued. -
Russell, aparently, has a "Bread Awesomizer" thus allowing him to add his own Folate from a jar.

Ah yes, you can't beat a strumpet.
