Why is folate is essential to the developing fetus?


And how has the government responded to help alleviate the consequences of dietary deficiencies that may occur?

the function of and synthesis of dna in cells and replication ,if deficient neural tubal defects may arise

Folate is necessary for the production and maintenance of new cells. This is especially important during periods of rapid cell division and growth such as infancy and pregnancy. Folate is needed to replicate DNA.

Government has responded by creating an acronym...WIC

Folate (folic acid) prevents neural tube defects. The government (Dept. of Health) has determined the recommended dietary allowance. Why should the govenment be responsible for "alleviating the consequences of dietary deficiencies that may occur"???? Since when has this been the responsibility of the U.S. government? What happened to individual responsibility?
