Folic acid level

What does High Folic Acid mean??
I've heard there are links between that and breast cancer. I have breast cysts as well, so i was wondering.
Thanks

I have not heard anything about this, I want to do some research, I take a variety of supplements daily. This is interesting.

Hi,

There has been a confusing study which has shown high folic acid may lead to increased   breast cancer. However, this is considered by many as a chance finding and folic acid is considered to prevent breast cancer and a essential health supplement. Further studies are required to establish that folic acid is a culprit.

I think till the time there is convincing evidence otherwise, folic acid should be considered a health supplement and taken according to the prescribed dosages.

Hope this helped. Let us know if you have any other queries.

Best regards.
