That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
Folate is important for fetal development as it helps in the formation of the neural tube, which later develops into the brain and spinal cord. Adequate intake of folate reduces the risk of neural tube defects such as spina bifida and anencephaly. Therefore, folate is essential during pregnancy to support the healthy development of the baby.
