neural tube defect

Like what kind of a placebo is that? So, you know, the whole trial was flawed from the outset.

And then when they got their result, which was that there were six neural tube defects in that manganese copper group and zero in the other group, the public health authorities were like, that's it.

We're there.

We've crossed the line.

And so from then on, you know, the doors were shut and that's where we've been ever since.

But what's really interesting is that if you actually dig into the cause, it's not as straightforward as I was told.

So I was told that folate deficiency causes neural tube defects.

You give folic acid, the body eventually converts it into folate.

Yeah.

So, um, you know, there-- we, we see case of neural tube defects every month-

Wow

... you know, that come to our center, but we have, you know, again, we're a, have a wide catchment.
