Why Has Folic Acid Become a Public Health Issue?

Everywoman

Available for over a year

Folic acid is vital in the development of human embryos, so should it be added to foodstuff to safeguard pregnant women, or could this lead to other problems? Also on the programme: Why do fibroids in the womb particularly affect African women; and why women in Iran are campaigning to allow female judges once more. The Everywoman diary focuses on an actress with a one-woman show at the Edinburgh Festival.
