[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 401810, member: 1991"] On the news this morning over here, was a report that incidence of neural tube defect (spina bifida, anencephaly) in Australia has greatly reduced and tat blood folate levels in Australian women of childbearing age have some very large percentage (over 90% within normal levels, where some years ago the level was about 60%. They recently began adding folate to all bread baked in Australia, to ensure that folate levels would be high enough to prevent neural tube defects. We also have fluoride added to our drinking water here. Excess Vitamin A can be dangerous - an Australian polar explorer, Douglas Mawson, discovered this the hard way. He was the sole survivor of his team - they got into strife and in order to survive, killed and ate their huskies one by one. The meat was too tough to eat, so they mostly ate the liver. Unfortunately, it is a very rich source of Vitamin A. Mawson ate less than the others and was the only one to survive. It wasn't until years later that it was discovered why the others had died. Among other symptoms, their skin was sloughing off, including the soles of the feet. A lot of other problems too. Marg [/QUOTE]
