folate also helps maintain healthy circulation of the blood throughout
the body by preventing build-up of a substance called homocysteine. A
high serum homocysteine level (called hyperhomocysteinemia) is
associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease, and low
intake of folate is a key risk factor for hyperhomocysteinemia.
Increased intake of folic acid, particularly by men, has repeatedly
been suggested as a simply way to lower risk of cardiovascular disease
by preventing build-up of homocysteine in the blood.
