I stand corrected! 😧
Synthetic folic acid DOES negatively impact those without MTHFR. --Not just those with this very common genetic polymorphism. 😨
📣A word from your local, friendly neighborhood naturopath, here:
--A Passionate Plea--
•READ all your labels!!
•AVOID this ingredient like the plague, as well as CYANOcobolamine form of B12❗🙏❗
•And PLEASE watch this video.
🙏🙏🙏 .
Disclaimer: *I am not affiliated in any way. I just am so appreciative of Dr. Ben Lynch's teachings and determination to spread the word.*
I am CONVINCED this fake B9 (folic acid) that they have saturated our food chain with (as well as fake B12 -Cyanocobalamin, btw😒😤) has been one of Theeeee Main Players/ Contributing Factors to the great uptick of America's mental health issues & prolific ADHD diagnoses.
Each & every one of my naturopathic clients, friends, family, --anyone who will listen to me, I have about been screaming this from the rooftops.
❗I am so passionate about this subject❗
🥹 Because I have witnessed and experienced the heartbreaking impact.
From clients, to many loved ones --and even myself.
These 2 ingredients alone have destroyed so many people's lives.
--And Unnecessarily. 😑😓
I would place BETS that these 2 ingredients alone, if totally eradicated from America's food chain, would heal most people's depression, OCD, anxiety, severe mental illness, ADHD symptoms --including many other symptoms.
--But that is unlikely to happen any time soon so we MUST be our own advocates. -!!- 😐
All of my new naturopathic clients? I have them bring in all of their supplements & medications to their first appointment for me to read the labels and research contraindications. ANYONE who uses any supplement with "the bad folic acid and B12" --I promptly throw it away.
And anyone who is on a medication that depletes B12 (💀there are MANY, fyi.... ), I immediately get them on a great Folate & B12 supplement. 😉
Frequently they are blown away, their mouths agape, "but that's supposed to be a good brand!?? I spent good money on that!?? 😮"
And THEN I teach them why.... 💀
Most leave in total dismay and DISGUSTED why and HOW our government could even allow this in our food chain. 😣
"🤰👨🍼But pregnant mothers & infants NEED it to be healthy and to avoid neural tube defects!?! 😱".
--Then make sure to specifically watch Dr.Ben Lynch's Chapter's 7 & 8 on just WHY it's even more imperative to avoid any vitamins, prenatals & MOST baby formulas! (YES! They even put these 2 nefarious ingredients into our PRENATALS & BABY FORMULAS!! 🤬)
--It will Blow Your Mind and you will either be in total disbelief or absolutely furious from the research he shares.
Please watch. 🙏🙏
Education is POWER.
Be proactive in your own health care.
🙏🥹🙏
In a day and time when it is COMMON to become bankrupt from medical expenses and we have to fight the insurance companies to cover even the most common item, be your Own Advocate and make it a practice to INVEST in buying & making quality foods.
It does NOT have to be expensive!
We can make TASTY-DELISH meals with even just 7-8 simple, wholefood ingredients! 😃 --But WILL require you to get back in the kitchen. 😉🧑🍳
💀Literally, food is either our biggest poison or our biggest medicine. 🧬💚🥬
Purchasing quality food is like multiplying your savings in your health-bank of your future. 💰🏦💸
🥦🥣🍓👩🍳😋
With much love --and PASSION about this very subject!

Most people assume folic acid and folate are the same thing, they are not, and that confusion has been quietly affecting your brain, immune system, and long-...
