So that study that's been floating around, saying too much folate and vitamin B during pregnancy may be linked to autism. Anyone buy into that?

Question

I take so many supplements of both because I thought the more the better.   Now I'm paranoid.

Answer

Nothing "causes" autism it's a neurological disorder & it shits me off people think they can catch it or get it like cancer or something

Answer

Too much of anything isnt good for you. Their are recommended daily allowances for things prescribed. Best to stick to those. Prenatal vitamins are good because they contain a little bit extra of what u need 🌹

Answer

The study is crap, but it is not 'the more the better'. Yes they are water soluble so you should only retain what you need, however excess folate in the third trimester is linked to increase in asthma. Daily recommendation is 500mcg in pregnancy.

Answer

Lauren could I ask where you found this study? I'd just like to read it for myself is all. I wouldn't be concerned just yet, I take 3mg of folate plus my prenatal vitamins so I end up taking A LOT of folate. My first daughter has a neural tube defect so I took folate even before I was pregnant.

Answer

It's already been debunked.
