from " scubjay " >>I was searching for what high folic acid means, and

couldn't find much, it was all related to breast health I think. Just

another level abnormal that my doc blew off-AUG!>>

A new review (Nutr Rev 2007;65:512-15) expresses concerns about folic

acid, citing experimental data

supporting the notion that folic acid supplementation can promote

preexisting yet

undiagnosed cancer.

I have no idea if this is cause for alarm, but it may be interesting and

worth pursuing, imo. This idea about folic acid supplementation has been

around for a while and was at one time a caution for br ca patients.

Don't know if it still is. There are always those folks around who want

to point out the high risks of supplements but never tell you about side

effects and death from pharmaceuticals, so I always take these studies

with a grain of (celtic) salt.

True, True, I'm doubting the little thats absorbed through my multi-

vitamin actually made my folic acid level so high. Im thinking it got

that way on its own. Don't know, Hopefully this new doctor will have

some more thought on it! If I can ever get the appointment scheduled!

Happy New Year
