Folate in the form of folic acid is used to treat [[anemia]] caused by [[folic acid deficiency|folate deficiency]]. Folic acid is also used as a supplement by women during [[pregnancy]] to reduce the risk of [[neural tube defect]]s (NTDs) in the baby. Low levels in early [[pregnancy]] are believed to be the cause of more than half of babies born with NTDs. More than 80 countries use either mandatory or voluntary fortification of certain foods with folic acid as a measure to decrease the rate of NTDs. Long-term supplementation with relatively large amounts of folic acid is associated with a small reduction in the risk of [[stroke]] and an increased risk of prostate cancer. There are concerns that large amounts of supplemental folic acid can hide [[vitamin B12 deficiency|vitamin B<sub>12</sub> deficiency]].</div>FuzzyBot
