Safe Food

Health Freedom are active in a number of areas on the issue of Safe Food. We were vocal when the National Government was considering the introduction of Folic Acid into our daily bread, you can read our press releases here and see our page detailing our objections here.

Most concerning is the ongoing introduction of GE and GM into our food supply. HFNZ are working with a number of national organisations to address this serious issue and we will be posting more information about this on our website soon.

Objections to the Mandatory Fortification of Bread with Folic Acid

Health Freedom NZ are opposed to adding folic acid to bread for many reasons we list below. If we accept that mass medication of the population for one deficiency is an acceptable practice, then we open the flood gate for chemical manufacturers to lobby government and add all manner of chemicals to our food for all manner of diseases. The proposed scheme sets a dangerous precedent. The solution to New Zealands nutrient-deficient expectant mothers is not the addition of synthetic Folic Acid to bread, which is replacing the natural substance Folate that is stripped by food producers and processors. For a more in depth discussion of this serious issue please read on.
