Folate from pills does not prevent Pancreatic Cancer

[Guest guest]

I am sure most of you folks saw this, but what I thought was interesting was the brief mention of a "deeper issue", that of the possible "dark side" of B Vitamins.

Hi folks:

Of course another possibility is that it is not the folic acid in the

foods that is the key ingredient, but that the folic acid is (often)

a marker for something else that is responsible for the, in this case

beneficial, effect.

If it really is the folic acid that is the effective ingredient then

surely the folic in the pills would be effective also. This may be a

bit like the connection between alpha-linolenic acid and prostate

cancer. The ALA may just be a marker (often/sometimes) for aflatoxin.
