Folic acid has been shown to help prevent birth defects, such as spina bifida. A systematic review of four trials involving 6425 women found that the chance of having a baby with a neural tube defect is reduced by about 75% if women take the supplements prior to conception and for the first two months of pregnancy (relative risk 0.28, 95% confidence interval 0.13 to 0.58).

Remember, science is repeatable, reliable, and analyzable. If it doesn't meet all three of those criteria, it's not science.

Physics for RPG designers

note to Eclipse Phase designers: titanium is used in UDT/SEAL knives because it is (a) uncorroded by seawater and *B*<==== THIS ONE ESPECIALLY =====> NONMAGNETIC.
