Women appear to be getting too much folic acid to be safe.

Given the apparent increase in children with ADHD, or Autism in recent decades, I wonder if there has been an imbalance in folid acid to B12 in the supplements commonly taken by pregnant women? I have never had the sense women were falling over themselves to eat adequate quantities of green leafies, despite all the health talk over the decades. I had a young baby sitter with spina bifida in the early 1970s. I think supplements for pregnant women probably became more common not long after WW2 which ended in 1945.

Folic acid is in everything made with flour. They spray it on and declare the flour to be “enriched.”

New research suggests that excess folic acid may also cause high blood pressure in otherwise healthy people.

The natural vitamin is FOLATE. The man-made stuff is folic acid.
