Hello all, my family and I did the whole30 last September. I just found out I am pregnant and have read the paragraphs referring to pregnancy in It Starts With Food. I live in the UK where folic acid is prescribed. Please can you explain what folate is and why folic acid is not advisable? I folic acid for three days but since reading the advice in the book I have held off until I find out more. I could do some research on the net but that seems like shouting the question on the street. Any credible source material you can point me to? Where would I find folate? What is the best form it comes in? Does it help prevent spina bifida?
Is the Whole30 safe for pregnant and breastfeeding women?
in Whole30 while pregnant or breastfeeding
