Our kind benevolent government, out of its boundless concern for our health and safety (not to mention the profitability of the folic acid industry) has mandated that we must all eat flour that has been "fortified" with folic acid, a synthetic additive that does not occur naturally in our food.
Not all foods have been / will be mandated to include it, which is just as well since there are some categories of people who are advised not to eat it. They can avoid it by eating foods that are not "fortified" to with it.
I do hope that it isn't possible to develop an allergy to it. That could be rather inconvenient.
Of course we can always "go wild" and live in a remote forest off wild game and fish caught from our rivers, but there again it would no longer surprise me to find that our government is secretly dumping folic acid into the headwaters of every river in the country ...
