Folic Acid Reduces the Risk of a First Stroke by Twenty Five Percent
A study that is sure to irritate the Big Pharma drug-pushing cartel was published by The Lancet in their June 2, 2007 issue. Despite pushing over 20 billion dollars worth of statin drugs each year down the throats of Americans for prevention of heart disease, when in fact there is no statistical evidence that a statin drug can prevent a first stoke at all, it now comes to pass that a simple B vitamin can do the job of stroke prevention far more effectively. This new study lends support to another study published last month showing that folic acid could dramatically decrease the thickening of the coratid artery over a two-year period.Read More: B Vitamins, Folic Acid
B Vitamin Deficient Parents More Likely to Produce Overweight Children
Proper health preparation prior to and during pregnancy has a profound affect on the future health of the child. The “fetal programming” that takes place is especially involved with energy regulation, formation of metabolic “hardware,” and the likelihood of obesity during childhood or even adulthood.Read More: B Vitamins, calcium folinate, DNA, Folic Acid, high blood pressure, insulin, metabolism, methylcobalamin, The Leptin Diet
Folic Acid and DHA for Cognitive Function and Alzheimer’s
New research is explaining the importance of folic acid and DHA for improved cognitive function and prevention of neuro-degeneration. Folic acid is found to lower the brain and cardiovascular irritant, homocysteine. It directly improves brain function and helps to raise the levels of DHA in the blood. DHA is known to help generate new nerve growth, improve nerve transmission and connectivity, enhance nerve-related memory factors, and reduce brain inflammation.Read More: Acetyl-L-Carnitine, Alzheimer's, Carnosine, cognitive function, dementia, DHA, essential fatty acids, Folic Acid, homocysteine, neurodegeneration, PhosphatidylSerine PS, Stress Helper®
B12 and Folic Acid Should be Taken Together
Folic Acid is an important B vitamin for nerve and cardiovascular health. As such, it is being widely promoted – even food is being fortified with extra folic acid. There is no question that folic acid supplementation before and during pregnancy cuts down on nerve-related problems in the newborn child.Read More: B Vitamins, Blood Builder, Daily Energy Multiple Vitamin™, dietary supplements, Folic Acid, nutrients, Super B Complex, Super Mini-Multi™, synergistic relationship, Wellness Resources
Vytoringate Builds Steam – Folic Acid Ignored
The Wall Street Journal now calls it Vytoringate – one of the biggest drug frauds in history. Merck and Schering-Plough sat on bad drug trial results of their cholesterol drug and raked in close to 10 billion dollars selling snake oil...Meanwhile, nobody seems to be mentioning that folic acid has already been proven to do what Vytorin was supposed to be doing.Read More: FDA, Folic Acid, heart disease, statins, Vytorin
Folic Acid Prevents Premature Deliveries
New research shows that taking folic acid for 1 year prior to becoming pregnant provides a 70% reduction in the risk for a very early preterm deliveries (20 to 28 weeks in gestational age) and up to a 50% reduction in early pre-term deliveries of 28 to 32 weeks.Read More: baby, Folic Acid, heart disease, high blood pressure, premature delivery
Folic Acid Important for Bones
An interesting 5 year Italian study of postmenopausal women found that the rate of bone loss correlated to levels of folic acid deficiency. It is already known that elevated homocysteine (often due to folic acid deficiency) increases the risk for bone fractures. This study found that folic acid deficiency alone, independent of homocysteine, was a key link.Read More: B Vitamins, bone loss, Calcium, calcium folinate, deficiency, Folic Acid, homocysteine, osteoporosis

Lack of Folic Acid Linked to Colon Cancer
In new research scientists grew human colon cells in folate-depleted and folate-enriched tissue culture. A lack of folate was clearly linked to DNA damage, as well as numerous other gene-related changes favorable to cancer.Read More: calcium folinate, colon cancer, Folic Acid
Folic Acid Supplements Reduce Breast Cancer Risk
Researchers were trying to prove that taking folic acid supplements would increase a woman’s chance for breast cancer. Much to their dismay, they found that after ten years of supplementation folic acid was protective against breast cancer.Read More: Activator Plus™, alcohol, Blood Builder, breast cancer, Daily Energy Multiple Vitamin™, Folic Acid, Super B Complex
