Research teams in the Netherlands and the U.S. have confirmed that low
levels of folic acid in the diet significantly increases risk of
osteporosis-related bone fractures due to the resulting increase in
homocysteine levels. Homocysteine has already been linked to damage to
the arteries and atherosclerosis, plus increased risk of dementia in
the elderly. Now, in a study that appeared in the May 2004 issue of the
New England Journal of Medicine, researchers at the Eramus Medical
Center, Rotterdam, Holland, and another team in Boston have confirmed
that individuals with the highest levels of homocysteine have a much
higher risk of osteoporotic fracture.
