OK this thread is going off track but anything in high doses is bad and it specifically states for most people its fine.

This is a better reflection of folic acid, and many other things.

Folic acid (a B vitamin) is crucial before and during early pregnancy (especially the first 12 weeks) to prevent severe birth defects of the baby's brain and spine (neural tube defects like spina bifida), with the standard recommendation being 400 mcg daily for women of childbearing age, often starting at least a month before conception, and continuing through early pregnancy via prenatal vitamins, though a doctor might prescribe a higher dose (like 5mg) for high-risk individua
Talking about nutrition isn’t off track in a diet discussion.

I’m not against recommending dietary supplements to individuals as needed.

I’m adamantly opposed to the indiscriminate mass dosing of populations with chemicals and compounds for whatever purpose.

The US government has a horrible track recorded of keeping harmful compounds out of our foodstuffs.


“The FDA uses a system called Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS), which means many additives are assumed to be safe unless new research shows otherwise. This approach often relies on expert opinion rather than rigorous testing of new additives.”

It’s hard to trust a water supply that smells like lake one day and chemicals the next. Not to mention the letter that comes with the bill 2-3 times a years stating they exceeded the “safe” levels of one thing or the other but there is no need to be concerned or take special action.
