Many Brits Believe Technology Could Take Over Humanity by 2036

U.K. Government Advisers Push for Folic Acid to be Added to Flour

In the U.K., a lack of folic acid in foods is a problem. Nearly 2,000 babies have been born with serious side effects such as spina bifida since 1998 due to the government’s failure to add the B vitamin to flour, according to researchers.
