Use Folic Acid To Cut Heart Disease, Say Experts

The scientific evidence is strong enough to justify using folic acid as

a cheap and simple way of reducing heart disease and strokes, say

researchers in this week's British Medical Journal.

Dave:

Yes, homocysteine is the real cause of atherosclerosis, not

cholesterol. Folic acid, B12 (esp. methylcobalamin form), TMG and B6

especially together, all reduce levels of homocysteine. The fact

that in a hunter-gather diet the amounts of these nutrients required

to keep homocysteine at bay are present in sufficient quantities to

do this, suggests that heart disease of the thrombosis type is a

deficiency disease.
