Folate Reduces Colon Cancer Risk
A new study suggests that folic acid supplementation provided in utero, but not postnatally, may protect offspring from developing colorectal cancer.
Pups from mothers on the control diet had a nearly three-fold increased risk of developing colorectal cancer compared with those from rats on folic acid supplementation. Maternal folic acid supplementation significantly decreased the risk of offspring developing colorectal cancer while postnatal folic acid supplementation had no significant effect on the incidence of tumor development.
