A vitamin is an organic molecule (or a set of molecules closely related chemically, i.e. vitamers) that is an essential micronutrient which an organism needs in small quantities for the proper functioning of its metabolism. Essential nutrients cannot be synthesized in the organism, either at all or not in sufficient quantities, and therefore must be obtained through the diet.
Niacin, also known as nicotinic acid, is an organic compound and a form of vitamin B3, an essential human nutrient.
Holy fuck you people are fucking stupid. Adding more B vitamins is not a bad thing. Some people will need them, most will probably just wind up pissing them out.
Most vitamins are water soluble with Vitamins A, D, E and K being fat soluble.
It is next to impossible to overdose on water soluble vitamins.
When they start packing in the K, that's when it gets dangerous and can lead to more clotting in the body.
They've been doing this in the US since the 90's. Unfortunately half of the population likely have MTHFR genetic mutations and cannot process folic acid and large amounts of it can clog the areas that natural forms of folate would bind to, making the folate deficiency worse in those with severe mutations. In women this can lead to recurrent miscarriages as they need folate when conceiving and during early pregnancy (it is common to test for this mutation after multiple miscarriages in both the mother and father). Interestingly, 98% of children with autism have an MTHFR mutation, with rates significantly increasing since the 90's when flour was enriched with folic acid in the US (1998) and pregnant women were encouraged to take folic acid supplements while pregnant (1992). This isn't the only piece to the autism puzzle but it certainly shouldn't be ignored and anyone with this mutation should stay away from these foods and take alternative forms of folate if needed. Mass fortifying food without regard for the consequences is a mistake.
I dont have autism but I neither can eat gluten or dairy and when they gave me acid folic my belly got filled with gas and hurt like hell. I couldnt eat a thing until I stopped taking the supplements.
Have you tried stopping all processed food ? They put dextrose in most sauces/fries/sausages which is made of wheat. I heard about autistic people going back to normal once they stop all sources of wheat, corns and dairies.
Done a lot better since I evicted all dextrose, glucose syrup etc from my food. I also take chinese medecine drugs which helps a lot.
Folic acid is vitamin b9. White flour is already 'enriched' and this is just adding one more item to the list. This isn't a bad thing.
It's not a good thing to force bread makers to put nutrients in food. They should recommend, not force.
Flour already has iron and nicotine acid aka niacin aka vitamin B3

Agreed.
Gotta admit, though, it seems like we've left open a backdoor for medical treatment without consent here, kinda like with the fluoride thing.

Fascinating. Thank you for this info. I especially didn't know about the autism link.
This.
Haven't you heard? Men can get pregnant, too. It's Science™.
