    Interesting. Not sure I’m keen on more additives in my food all the same, thanks. Would rather take a supplement during pregnancy.
    People are often trying to cut out or cut back on bread. So many gluten allergies too.

    @Ann Experiment: the neural tube forms and closes by the 28th day after conception (note conception not implantation in case there’s any confusion) and many women have barely realised they are pregnant at that point. Unless you’re trying to achieve a pregnancy, in which case you’re probably already taking folic acid.

    @Ann Experiment: Reading these comments is so disheartening.

    Everyone entitled to opinion but medical fact is not a mater of taste.

    Folic Acid is Vitamin B, not an additive; Ireland has among highest rate of Neural Tube Defects (baby born with spinal cord outside the body) in Europe and taking during pregnancy is too late to prevent this , has to be taken before.

    Obviously senator Noone has been briefed on this by scientists and adding Vitamin B to flour, as done in other countries has been shown to reduce this devastating birth defect.

    Please do some reading before broadcasting an unhelpful comment.

    @dB O’Neill: most countries have not banned. That’s an outright lie. Multiple countries utilise multiple ways of getting the max fluoride benefit. Some have a naturally occuring optimum level like denmark, some add it to flour and salt, some five yearly dental rinses and some put it in bottled water – the best method is considered adjusting the water supply like we do here.

    It doesn’t fully prevent neural tubal defects either. I was taking my folic acid for years and lost a baby to a neural tubal defect. I felt so patronised by the doctor asking me why I wasn’t taking my folic acid when I had been for years and as I was trying for a baby too, was more aware to take it every single day. It certainly helps but doesn’t totally prevent anything and we need to remember that.
