Too Few Women Aware Of The Benefits Of Folic Acid
According to the Gallup Organization, recent poll results show that only 29 percent of women, age 18 to 45, reported taking a daily multi-vitamin containing folic acid and just 19 percent know that the B vitamin prevents birth defects. The poll also showed that the awareness surrounding the benefits of folic acid compared to 1995 is only fair. The poll involved 10,000 women over a six-year period of time.
