“…The NTD prevalences found in the city of Recife, 0.72 and 0.51:1,000 LB, in the pre-and post-fortifi cation periods respectively, were lower than the rates found in previous surveys in Brazil, which varied between 0.83:1,000 and 1.87:1,000 LB, 10,15 and in Latin American countries, where prevalences of 1.5:1,000 LB 10 were observed. NTD prevalence varies according to period in time and area; it is very low in Finland (0.4/1,000 LB), high in Mexico (3.3/1,000) and very high in southern Wales (up to 12.5/1,000).…”

“…maçã, morango, mamão, laranja e caju. Folatos em alimentos são encontrados principalmente nas formas de 5-metiltetrahidrofolato (5-MTHF) e formiltetrahidrofolato (formil-THF), sendo o 5-MTHF a forma mais abundante em produtos de origem vegetal (BARRIOS; GÓMEZ, 1997;NOGUEIRA;COZZOLINO, 1998;MAYES, 1999;FOOD...;WORLD..., 2000;NASSER et al, 2005;SANCHO, 2006;QUINATO;DEGÁSPARI;VILELA, 2007;TÂMEGA;COSTA, 2007;TAM et al, 2009). …”

“…Folic acid is a synthetic form of folate, found in vitamin supplements and fortified foods (Bailey, 2000). The main dietary sources of folic acid are spinach, white beans, asparagus, dark-leaved vegetables, Brussels sprouts, soybean and its derivatives, oranges, and melons, amongst others (Nasser et al, 2005;Deconinck et al, 2011). An important feature of vitamins is that they are generally not synthesized by mammalian cells and must therefore be supplied in sufficient amounts in the diet (Aurora-Prado et al, 2004).…”
