18 Dec 2018 --- Folate deficiency creates more problems in connection with DNA replication than previously assumed, researchers from the University of Copenhagen have reported. The findings show that once a person is folate deficient, the “chromosomal abnormalities” and damage caused cannot be reversed. The research widens the scope of people who should be aware of their folate consumption from pregnant women to all demographics, especially in regions where the supply of folate in the food supply may be low.
