Was a bit worried after reading Dr Fuhrman’s article. For every such view, there is an equal and opposite view. Please read this article by Mr. Andrew W. Saul : Folic Acid Does NOT Cause Cancer at http://orthomolecular.org/resources/omns/v06n17.shtml

Sorry about the spelling mistakes on my last e-mail. I am a 55 year-old, non-menstruating female. It may be coincidental but the problem seemed to start over a year ago when I took some iron pills to deal with anemia. The iron just seemed to get stored. I stopped taking the iron when my serum ferritin jumped up to 343. The lowest I’ve been able to get the serum ferritin down to is around 240 and serum iron to 158.

In reply to H2O. Can't really answer, you don't even say if you are male/female or of menstruating age... etc.

I would like to add a few words on folic acid vs. folate. Folate is the natural B vitamin, as found in foliage: leafy greens, beans, other veggies, etc. There is research showing the body doesn’t do so well on the artificial form, folic acid, and that it contributes to cancer and other serious diseases. Yet most people aren’t aware of this, or of the difference. After all, folic acid is the one mandated to be added to flour and baked goods. Instead of this, we should all be getting all the folate we need from food or, if we need a supplement, it should be made with folate, not folic acid. For a good article on the subject, check out http://www.drfuhrman.com.

Keith,
At 81 years and going for 130 I have taken all of the above and more for the past 35 years with a father and his father(both deceased in dementia by age 74 I have broken that mold. Of course high doses of copper can be a health hazard and certainly a major contributor today to Prostate cancer through knocking out the zinc which prevents the testosterone changing to dehydrotestosterone after age 40. And as you will be aware all prostate cancer cells are completely devoid of zinc and citrate.
Otherwise these studies are contrived bully-poop.
Keith if you mail me separately I will introduce you to a world first Transdermal body spray that I am about to market.
donya Keith keep at the barstewards!
