Guest guest Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 FOLIC ACID FOLLY? Folic acid in itself is a chemical substance not needed by the human body. The body does not use folic acid in this form. Folates however of various chemical forms ARE needed and are ESSENTIAL vitamins and there are something like 100 different ones known based on the folic acid structure but of course NOT folic acid per se. They are all optically active, so any man-made product is more than likely to contain the wrong isomers as impurities that is not only needed by the body but POSITIVELY harmful. A problem met with THALIDOMIDE which the Big p'Harma claim is NOW completely safe for use as it contains ONLY the correct and safe isomer. The claim when it led to much suffering, disorders and deaths was the same claim of complete safety for babies. Nothing MUCH changes it seems. Further there is the risk that these isomers in the man-made attempt top MIMIC nature will be themselves mimics and therefore as said harmful or even extremely harmful to the human body. The vitamin is needed in small amounts and some other known vitamins can be extremely toxic if present in too high a level. There is good cause for concern that this is the case here. The molecule of this group is fairly complex and the structure was only worked out (elucidated) in 1945. It consist of three fairly complex group of atoms joined together. It is used in forming components for our own DNA structure so any mimic is likely to present severe problems in theory only as no harm as yet has been definitely and unambiguously attributed to the folic acid or any unwanted forms of it. A veritable potential spanner in our DNA works? It must be a candidate for further SAFETY (ie HARM to us) evaluation as it is included and has been included in many foodstuffs in the USA coincident with the rise in autism et al. It has been put into a prime position for addition to our food and inclusion in the dietary additions to pregnant mothers largely due to one scientist who has pushed it into use. Any CONFLICTS of interest? Such an action (one person controlling the worlds health or lack of it) is by its very nature a hazardous enterprise and there are increasingly voiced concerns about it suitability as an artificial product for anyone. There is no doubt that good sources of food should provide sufficient of these vitamins in a completely safe form. The present situation with man made folic acid can be compared say to ASPARTAME a completely safe alternative to sugar. If you ignore 100 per cent chance of getting CANCER. Or even High Fructose Sugar made using a bed of a few hundred tons of MERCURY to spice up the otherwise equivalent of bees honey with that added body or weight to it giving it mercurial powers. My anecdotal meeting of folic acid for pregnancy resulted in sudden death in the womb. The recommendation of further pregnancies MINUS folic acid coincidentally going without mishap. Research has ALSO shown that dietary supplements of folic acid do NOT add to the vitamin level acquired naturally from foods with natural vitamins. In essence a dangerous possible DRUG with possibly 50 different impurities mimicking our own body chemistry and contributing NOTHING to our well being. But in nearly every processed food to give it that extra ZEST to GMO possibly and recommended in large doses for EVERy pregant mum it is a BIG earner for Big p'HARMA. So in the RISK benefit analysis its a BIG HIT for BIG p'HARMA. We take the RISK Big p'HARMA takes BIG BUCKS. FOLIC ACID FOLLY? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
