Folic Acid and the Amazing B Vitamins: A Question-And-Answer Guide for Women and Men

This book is easy to read & provides an abundance of information about folic acid & B vitamins, specifically their role in cell function. Prior to reading this book, I was unaware of the exact way drinking alcohol & smoking cigarettes interferes with the absorption of vitamins & minerals. My mother (who smokes) recently developed a rash on her chin which she described as "itchy." I had given her various organic face lotions to try - which did not improve the condition. About a month later (after reading this book), I dropped off bottles of B-complex vitamins and folic acid pills. Within a week of beginning the B-complex & folic acid supplements, her rash disappeared. Obviously she had a vitamin deficiency!! But we never would have known this if I hadn't read the book...her doctor would only recommended cortisone cream for the rash. Definitely recommend this short book :)
