Lightbulb Today's news....

Has this topic: folic acid and increased rates of colon cancer in young patients.

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,278237,00.html

Chemo drugs typically deplete folic acid as part of their mechanism of action.
I would like to see more data on folic acid and those who FAIL to utilize it, and hence it builds up in the body. That kind of information would be more useful.

I have seen young women trying to conceive taking 5mg of folic acid a day with a doctor's prescription.

Do not become alarmed yet. There will be more data coming on this subject.
