Food Fortification

[Diana]

There have been a lot of stories out in the last few days about food
additives and their health risks. Now, not just food additives in the
sense of high fructose corn syrup, but in the way of the vitamins and
minerals that are added to foods that we eat to make them "enriched".

I went looking for a report to quote and found this:
http://www.anhcampaign.org/news/another-question-mark-over-mandatory-food-fortification-with-synthetic-folic-acid

thinking that it was going to be from the past few days. It was
actually from a year ago.
And all of the other things that I found were 1, 2, 5 years old.
So...seems like there have been some suspicions about this for some
time. I know I have been. It always has seemed odd to me, but that's
because I feel like I get enough folate from my leafy greens, and
enough other vitamins from the healthy food I eat. If you're not able
to do that, then picking vitamin-enriched products makes sense, right?
Turns out, maybe not so much.

Do some research and see what you think.
