Restricted folate intake during pregnancy has also been associated with poor pregnancy outcomes including preterm delivery, low infant birth weight, and fetal growth retardation. Clinicians and health care practitioners have a unique opportunity to improve pregnancy outcome by providing advice to their ...
In a case-control study, "Maternal Serum Folate During Pregnancy and Congenital Heart Disease in Offspring,"publishedinJAMA Network Open, researchers found a U-shaped relationship between the mothers' serum folate levels during early pregnancy and the risk of CHD in offspring. This indicates that b...

In particular, DNA damage due to lack of folates can lead to the formation of chromosomal abnormalities, which are considered a hallmark in cancer and leukaemia. Overall, folic acid intake during pregnancy seems to provi...
The results obtained in many observational studies suggest that low folate intake or low circulating folate increases the risk of preterm delivery and low birth weight (5). However, a recent Dutch study on several B vitamins measured before and during pregnancy in healthy, well-nourished women ...
