Post by: jayjaypoh on Mar 4, 2018 ANS: F 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. A folate deficiency during pregnancy can result in neural tube birth defects, such as anencephaly and spina bifida. 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. Research shows that synthetic folic acid (added to grains and cereal products. is more effective than folate found naturally in foods. ANS: F ANS: Fat-soluble vitamins, such as vitamins A, D, E, and K, are stored in your body and need dietary fat to be absorbed properly. They can accumulate to the point of toxicity if your intake is excessive. Water-soluble vitamins, such as vitamins B and C, are absorbed in water and typically aren't stored for extended periods. Excess amounts of water-soluble vitamins do not accumulate to toxic levels but can be harmful if you habitually consume too much.
