Folate
Deficiency
A deficiency of folate (folic acid) can result in DNA strand breaks and cancer
promotion, a new study reveals.*
DETAILS: Folate, being a B vitamin, is contained in most multiple vitamin
tablets. Perhaps you should check yours. And, since B vitamins act
synergistically, it is best to get them in combination rather than as
single supplements, unless a knowledgeable physician prescribes it.
