In the intricate dance between genetics and environmental factors, addiction finds its roots. While genetic predisposition sets the stage, it is the environment that orchestrates the movements, determining whether an individual succumbs to the allure of addictive substances.

Folate is important for so many processes in the body but arguably most importantly is the role it plays in pregnancy and fertility. No doubt you’ve heard of folic acid. Like most people, you might not know that there’s a difference between folate and folic acid, which can make things confusing for us when we
AbstractFolate is required for metabolic processes and neural development. Insuring its adequate levels for pregnant women through supplementation of grain-based foods with synthetic folic acid (FA) in order to prevent neural tube defects has been an ongoing public health initiative. However, because women are advised to take multivitamins containing FA before and throughout pregnancy, the
AbstractBackground: Serum total folate consists mainly of 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-methylTHF). Unmetabolized folic acid (UMFA) may occur in persons consuming folic acid–fortified foods or supplements. Objectives: We describe serum 5-methylTHF and UMFA concentrations in the US population ≥1 y of age by demographic variables and fasting time, stratified by folic acid–containing dietary supplement use. We also evaluate factors associated with
