[ RadSafe ] Re: A likely source for a great many of the contestedbirth defects. Folic acid reduces cleft lip risk

[Mitchell W. Davis]

What type of birth defects are we talking about?  It is my understanding the
Folic Acid (i.e. folate) is only useful in minimizing neural tube defects
(i.e. Spinabifida).  Perhaps MD's on here can clarify that.
