• Folic Acid or Vitamin B-9 helps your body make DNA and RNA, the genetic “brains” that tell your body how to build cells
  • Taking Folic Acid 3-12 months before you get pregnant can prevent your baby from dying or being paralyzed for life
  • Taking B-9 before getting pregnant could prevent 70% or more of these tragic birth defects
  • 50% of pregnancies in the US are unplanned (80% of teen pregnancies)
  • Neural Tube Defects (NTD) [Spina bifida and anencephalic birth defects] can only be prevented by moms taking B-9 before getting pregnant
  • Spina bifida (babies born with a hole in the spine) will have lifetime paralysis
  • Anencephalic babies are born without a brain and always die shortly after birth
  • Vitamin B-9 is cheap and no prescription is required
  • Since 1998 the FDA has required flour and cereal makers to put about 100 micrograms a day in our food but that is not enough
