Folate and risk of cardiovascular disease

Abstract

Looks at the relationship between folate intake, elevated plasma total homocysteine and cardiovascular disease. Notes that the mechanisms between plasma homocysteine levels and cardiovascular disease are the subject of intense research activity. Suggests that increased folate intakes can reduce plasma homocysteine and subsequently help prevent cardiovascular disease.
