The Food and Drug Administration is proposing a change to the rules for labeling cheese. They want to allow cheese producers to use something called “ultrafiltered milk” but list it simply as “milk” on the ingredient list.
The problem is, ultrafiltered milk isn’t the same as milk. Ultrafiltered milk has been filtered to remove things like lactose, minerals, and vitamins. It is cheaper than fluid milk or powdered milk and that’s why the food processing industry wants to use it. They just don’t want you to know about it.
Tell the FDA you want to know all of the ingredients in the cheese you buy!

Lack of folic acid dementia link: Dementia is three times more common in people whose blood is low in folates, a form of vitamin B particularly found in green vegetables, a study suggests.
The Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery and Psychiatry study followed 518 South Korean pensioners for two years.
There is growing evidence linking levels of folates - or folic acid - and Alzheimer’s disease, though deficiency could be a symptom of dementia.
