A recent study conducted by Cornell University on both mice and human cancer patients indicates that high doses of folic acid do not increase toxic formaldehyde levels in the body. This finding suggests that folic acid, commonly added to foods and prescribed for certain medical conditions, is safe in high concentrations.
Why it matters
This research provides reassurance regarding the safety of high-dose folic acid supplementation, which is crucial for cancer patients and individuals with blood disorders, potentially alleviating concerns about formaldehyde toxicity.
