Multivitamin does not improve longevity

All flour in the western world is fortified with vitamins, which is mandated by governements. This then filters through the entire food chain so pretty much any thing you eat has fortified ingredients in.

There is nothing bad about it, it is there to replace the natural vitamins and minerals removed in the milling process.

All white/highly milled flour; there is no requirement for wholemeal flour to be fortified as nothing is being lost.

I found this out recently from the place I buy my wholemeal bread flour as they had a notice about the requirement, and that it doesn't apply to the wholemeal varieties they sell.
