Folic acid

On another platform someone has posted what apopears to be a disguised promo relating to folic acid and specifically targeted people with Autism.  Can anyone point me to reliable data / information on this topic, including any peer reviewed academic papers (not interested in anything from companies selling it)?  Many thanks!

  • Guess we'll all find out the effects when it becomes illegal to sell white flour (or products made using it) unless it's been fortified with folic acid. Bill has already passed but I'm not sure when it's being implemented.

    I'm terrified tbh. I spent two years putting together a diet that doesn't trigger digestive problems for me, which means for the first time in my life I'm not tied to the bathroom, and white flour provides most of my calories on it. Going to find it impossible to stay under maximum recommended amount of folic acid once fortification comes in.
