Oh, okay. I'll take your word for it, as it's been a long time since I took college chemistry, and was never the sharpest, anyway.
TBC, I don't think at any point I argued for removing the enriching process of processed white flour. You've brought that up several times, calling it "cruel," but it's a straw man, far as I can tell. Please stop.
There really is no scenario in human history or global locale in which that wouldn't be a disastrous situation. Artificial vitamins or not, you're going to develop health problems of one variety or another eating an abysmal, poorly-informed diet.
sorry then, if I inferred you wanted them out, resulting in me arguing like an idiot against someone who isn't disagreeing.

by the end of the day, we both just want better quality food.
