Folic Acid Cause Asthma?
A small study in Australia is looking at the possibility that folic acid may increase a child's risk of developing asthma if taken in late pregnancy (only late pregnancy, NOT prior to or early pregnancy where it is still thought to be useful in preventing neural tube defects). I sure hope that study is wrong for the thousands of women who were told by doctors to take it throughout pregnancy. Read more about it here.
