folic acid may have side benefit
October 12, 2004, BY LORI RACKL Health Reporter Young women have been urged for years to increase their intake of folic acid to prevent birth defects. But a new study suggests there could be another benefit: a reduced risk of high blood pressure. folic acid is the synthetic form of folate, a B vitamin abundant in citrus fruits, tomatoes, leafy green vegetables such as spinach and romaine lettuce, and many beans, including pinto, navy, lentil and kidney. Some foods -- Cheerios cereal, for example -- have folic acid added to them. Women who consumed more than 800 micrograms of folic acid through food and vitamin supplements lowered their risk of high blood pressure by almost a third compared to those who took in less than 200 micrograms a day, according to a study presented Monday at the American Heart Association's annual blood pressure research meeting in Chicago. Researchers at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston studied more than 150,000 women in two age groups to see if there was a link between the risk of high blood pressure and their folic acid intake. Women 26 to 46 years old who consumed more than 800 micrograms of folate daily boasted the most dramatic decrease in hypertension risk. Older women in a 43- to 70-year-old group who ate the most folate also pared back their risk of high blood pressure, but by a more modest 13 percent compared to the low-folate group. Getting 800 micrograms of folate strictly through diet can be challenging, said Dawn Jackson Blatner, a registered dietitian at Northwestern Memorial Hospital's Wellness Institute. That's why some people make up the difference by taking a daily multivitamin containing 400 micrograms of folic acid. Blatner cautioned that you can get too much of a good thing. More than 1,000 micrograms [daily] could cause neurological damage, she said. Don't look at this as, 'If 800 is good, 1,600 must be better.' |

Folic AcidTaking the synthetic form of folic acid can help prevent birth defects called neural tube defects (NTDs). NTDs are defects of the spine and brain. NTDs take place in the first month after conception, before most women know they are pregnant. The two most common forms of NTDs are spina bifida and anencephaly. Babies born with spina bifida may be paralyzed or have many other problems. Babies with anencephaly do not develop a brain or have only a partial brain. These babies die before birth or soon after they are born. Up to 70 percent of NTDs can be prevented by taking folic acid before and during early pregnancy. Because the risk for NTDs is not totally eliminated by using folic acid, routine prenatal visits with a health care provider during pregnancy are still important.Although it is not proven, folic acid also might help prevent heart disease, stroke, and colon cancer, and other kinds of cancer. Recent research suggests it also might help prevent high blood pressure during pregnancy.
