Folic acid tablets and breast cancer

2021-08-17 14:42:01
I ave a query. I was reading in a journal that said regular taking up of foliv acid supplements can increase one's risk of breast cancer in future. Am 33 year old woman and have just started taking folvite 5 mg. Am a bit worried now. Am not pregnant as of now. So is there any increasing chances of taking folic acid supplements like folvite 5 mg or folvite active and breast cancer? Plz suggest.
