Folate

  • ... that folic acid, a synthetic form of the vitamin folate, is added to wheat flour in many countries to reduce the risk of infants being born with spina bifida and other neural tube defects? Source:supported by refs #35 (Map:Count of Nutrients...) and #36 (Atta 2016)

Review: The article reached GA status on October 7. It is long enough and it is overall well sourced to WP:MEDRS compliant sources. Earwig detects copyvio but it is because the other website has copied from Wikipedia (see the "Contributors" section). All images are freely licensed or public domain. A spot check of several sources shows that they support the text and are not closely paraphrased. QPQ is done (thanks!). The hook is interesting and the main points of the hook are sourced. However, the statement that folic acid is a synthetic form of folate does not appear in the article, unless I've missed something. It will need to be added to the article with a source. Also, the entire "Drug interference" section is unsourced and needs citations. Thank you for bringing this important article to GA. SpicyMilkBoy (talk) 02:13, 10 October 2019 (UTC)
Comment: text and ref added to Lead and to body of text for mention of being a synthetic. Working on the other query. David notMD (talk) 04:58, 10 October 2019 (UTC)
