Both vitamins are types of antioxidants. While the new study looked at total antioxidant levels regardless of the food source it may be that the kind of food providing the antioxidants matters said study researcher Elizabeth Devore of the Harvard Medical school in Boston.

#Can Folic acid Prevent Autism? Women who take folic acid supplements before becoming pregnant as well as early in pregnancy may reduce the risk of having a child with an autism spectrum disorder according to a new study.
Researchers followed 85176 babies born between 2002 and 2008 for three to 10 years to determine
whether their mother's use of folic acid supplements influenced the risk of developing an autism spectrum disorder.
The researchers focused on women who had taken folic acid supplements for 4 weeks before they became pregnant until 8 weeks after the start of the pregnancy.
Women who had taken folic acid supplements in early pregnancy had a 40 percent reduced risk of having a child with autistic disorder than did had women who not taken the supplement.
At the study's start food in Norway was fortified not with folic acid A b vitamin so supplements were the women's only source of the nutrient.)
In 2002 43 percent of the women participating in the Moba study took folic acid supplements;
However many women started taking folic acid later than recommended and only half began before they became pregnant.
Folic acid is needed A b-vitamin for DNA synthesis and repair. It helps prevent neural tube defects including spina bifida in the developing fetus.
Folate the naturally occurring form of folic acid is found in green leafy vegetables peas lentils beans eggs yeast and liver.
 In the United states grain products such as cereal bread and flour are fortified with folic acid. Since it can be hard to obtain enough folate from food the March of Dimes recommends that all women of childbearing age get 400 micrograms of folic acid daily from a multivitamin.
Pregnant women should continue taking 400 mcg of folic acid through early pregnancy. Typically the neural tube closes 28 days after conception (gestational week six) according to the study researchers
and the development of basic brain structures occurs 15 to 56 days after conception (during gestational weeks five to 10.)
The new study only shows an association between the use of folic acid supplements and a lower risk of autistic disorder.
 Taking folic acid supplements during early pregnancy may reduce risk of autistic disorder. This story was provided by Myhealthnewsdaily a sister site to Livescience.

Avocados are rich in monounsaturated fat which has been associated with a lower risk of heart disease. Previous research elsewhere has found an estimated 19 percent reduction in the risk of coronary disease

Women in the study who ate more than one serving daily of low-fat dairy were no more likely to die than those who ate less than half a serving daily.
The researchers said their findings show that it was saturated fat from dairy products in particular rather than saturated fat in the diet in general that was linked with breast cancer survival.
But there's a fairly substantial amount of fat in it she said so it would be worthwhile to compare the effects of consuming it to consuming both lower-and higher-fat products.

#Organic Tomatoes Have More Vitamin c Organically grown tomatoes are more nutritious in some ways than the conventionally grown variety a new study from Brazil suggests.
while smaller have higher levels of Vitamin c as well as more plant phenols a class of compounds that act as antioxidants than do grown conventionally tomatoes.
The findings contradict those of research published last September in the journal Annals of Internal medicine which reviewed more than 200 studies and found no difference between the vitamin contents of organic and conventional foods.
and Food Chemistry concluded that organic crops tend to be higher in Vitamin c and phenols and lower in protein than conventionally grown crops.
Organic tomatoes have more Vitamin c and plant phenols but it's not clear whether eating them instead of conventional tomatoes would provide more health benefits.
In addition to the powerful antioxidant Vitamin c the juice contains a chemical that can disable enzymes needed to break down medications in the digestive system.
Admittedly some nutrients are lost in cooking such as Vitamin c and certain B vitamins. But plants are so excess in nutrients that even this breakdown is insignificant in practical terms said John Mcdougall creator of the Mcdougall Program a vegan-friendly starch-based diet.
In reality toxins can accumulate anywhere in the body particularly in fat and fatty tissue but also in proteins and bone.
