They may prevent it in the first place though, but once the damage is done, no surprise. The real surprise is why there have been 8+ clinical trials on folic acid, all asking the same question (and getting the same answer). A real waste of time and money.<br /><br />Really, WHY so many expensive clinical trials with folic acid (the JAMA paper refs 7 of them, very large, very long, very expensive)? It seems to me it's intellectual laziness to keep asking the same question over and over again. OK ask it once or twice because it's not really a very good question anyway - we don't see so many clinical trials on calcium and osteoporotic bone fractures do we?
