Did you know about the health risks of Folic Acid??

this is a new video that we uploaded from our conversation with Dr. Joel Fuhrman. We put it in a blog post and also listed the key points made in the video in the blog itself. Here are key points:

-Nobody should be taking folic acid, they should instead focus on folate. Green vegetables in particular have a lot of folate in them.

-Food does not have folic acid in it, it has folate

-Folic acid is synthetic

-New science is showing that there are big health risks (increased risk of cancer) associated with taking folic acid. The studies that Dr. Fuhrman references are listed at the bottom of this blog post.

-Folate has the opposite effect. High folate intake is associated with dramatic decrease in cancer.

-Even if a supplement has the word "Folate" it is probabaly folic acid.
