Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
There is now a great deal of scientific data that support eating foods high in folic acid or taking a multivitamin with folic acid to protect against certain birth defects.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The U.S. Public Health Service has issued an official recommendation that all women of childbearing age in the United States who are capable of becoming pregnant should consume 0.4 mg of folic acid per day for the purpose of reducing their risk of having a pregnancy affected with spina bifida or other neural tube defects.
