Confused Folic acid, Vitamins...rethinking my usage of them

I was reading in my nutrition newsletter that we should not be taking any extra folic acid and that we should limit it to 400mcg a day.
It appears to contribute to cancer growth if you have any tumors and don't know about them.
That made me stop and think.
I also was taking a multivitamin twice a day...and taking extra too.
I read taht increased doses of folic acid can help with depression and possibly decrease the aging process of our brains, they are giving it to seniors....
I need to rethink my usage of these vitamins.
Especially anyone with a family history of breast cancer they should not take extra folic acid.

Has anyone else read about this?
