Answer to Question 1

ANS: Folate plays an important role during pregnancy, particularly in the first few weeks after conception. Folate is needed to create new cells so that the baby can grow and develop.

Folic acid reduces the risk of these birth defects by 50 to 70 percent if consumed at least the month prior to conception and during early pregnancy.
