"So the law is going to be mandated in all white flour, imported white flour, organic white flour. It is already in a lot of wholemeal products. It's already in gluten-free products. Not all of them, but it's crept into some of them. It's already in things like organic sausages from Waitrose because flour gets into a lot of our food in processing." "And the the rationale is public health who, you know, the thing is, the trouble is, as a country, like most Western countries, we employ a whole load of people to talk about nutrition of the population and underneath the kind of food and agriculture department." "And we employ a whole load of people to talk about this kind of topic under public health. And they literally, their job is to talk about this endlessly. And if you say to people, please talk about what we should or shouldn't put in the flour endlessly, you're going to have stuff put in the flour aren't you, it's just like a kind of destination that you're headed for if that's what you pay people to do for a living, and Chris Whitty has taken this decision, and he's taken it on the basis of, I think there's a certain amount of international pressure on this topic, because a number of public health bodies have claimed success but in the ways that I've described. It's not genuine success, if you dig into it a little bit, you realise it's just actually not true. But superficially, they're claiming that they are saving lives and we look like we're not saving lives. And so he wants to be part of saving lives." "But, you know, Chris Whitty was around for a little bit before 2020. I think from 2018 or so he was around." "The point is, that since the Americans put it in, we have stood our ground and said no. We have said no, this is not a safe thing to do. We know there are problems with this drug." "We're not going to do it. The French would never do this. And the Italians would never do this." "And I think it's kind of interesting that there's a sort of, you know, whilst we were in Europe, we were protected from this and we're not anymore. And that actually the mindset of our public health people and our food, the mindset of our food people is probably closer to America than to Europe, because I think I read somewhere, it's about 60 countries have now mandated this, but particularly places like Australia, Canada, New Zealand." "America so very much kind of the Anglosphere but Europe not keen, no, I don't think they'd ever touch their food like this." "Chile has done it as well and the thing with the Chile story is that again they've claimed that it worked, but when you look at the levels of folate in the blood across the population........ So you have medicated an entire population to have levels of folate stores that are not physiological."

One hour. The gov calculations on the benefit of FOLIC ACID in terms of quality of life years would be wiped out if the harm in general population was a one hour reduction in left expectancy over ten years. You cannot measure one hour. Risk is bound to outweigh benefit.
