neural tube			Folate is incredibly important because of its role in preventing neural tube defects (like spina bifida). Australian study links folic acid intake to asthma by AFP / AFP Global Edition Healthcare professionals now encourage women to take folic acid supplements or eat food fortified with folic acid if they are planning to get pregnant, as well as during early pregnancy because there is clear evidence that this reduces the risk of any resulting baby having neural tube defects and possibly other birth defects (congenital malformations). Drugs that block folic acid in pregnancy double birth defects risk by Asian News International Folate helps reduce the risk of neural tube defects, such as spina bifida.
