The National Cancer Institute (NCI) has recently launched the three-year pilot phase of a new program that will help bring state-of-the-art cancer care to patients in community hospitals across the United States — the National Cancer Institute Community Cancer Centers Program (NCCCP).

While folic acid supplementation may reduce the risk of stroke, it does not reduce the risk of colorectal cancers (but could even possible increase the risk of some types of colorectal cancers) even though previous studies have suggested that folate supplementation may help prevent colorectal cancers.
[Err, folic acid is synthetic while folate is the natural […]
