Answer to Question 1

It is important for all women of childbearing age to take as much as double the recommended amount of folate. The latest research has associated folic acid deficiency with neural tube birth defects that occur in one out of every 1,000 births. These defects arise early in pregnancy. By recommending extra folate before pregnancy, the Public Health Service hopes to decrease the number of these defects. They also recommend that the extra folate come from foods, rather than supplements.

Answer to Question 2

B
