   1. Folic acid can prevent anemia and Alzheimer's disease
When folic acid is deficient, it will lead to improper synthesis of nuclear protein, which will cause megaloblastic anemia with enlarged red blood cell volume and reduced number, and vitamin B12 is an indispensable helper for folic acid metabolism. Therefore, it is better to take both of them at the same time to prevent and treat anemia; homocysteine ​​is a by-product produced when the digestive system converts dynamic protein into heat energy. When homocysteine ​​enters the blood, it combines with oxygen to produce cell bad effect. Leukocytosis is one of the causes of dementia, and the homocysteine ​​content of patients with leukocytosis is 4 times that of the average person. The way to reduce homocysteine ​​is to consume enough folic acid. The efficacy and role of folic acid have been widely used in the field of disease prevention.
   2. Folic acid can also inhibit obesity genes and help improve childhood obesity
The efficacy and role of folic acid also includes the inhibition of obesity genes. If the pregnant obese mice consume the right amount of folic acid and vitamin B12, the risk of inheriting the obesity gene to the next generation will be reduced by 50%, and the obesity gene will be eliminated by the third generation. The researchers estimate that folic acid, insulin, and vitamin B12 have chemicals that suppress the obesity gene, which becomes inactive during pregnancy. If pregnant women supplement enough folic acid, the next generation can also develop healthy diet and living habits. It is believed that improving the problem of childhood obesity is just around the corner.
