📣June #EditorsChoice Women in Canada are consuming above the upper intake level of folic acid but few are meeting dietary choline recommendations in the second trimester of pregnancy: data from the CHILD cohort study|@AleWiedeman etal ow.ly/sp5X50Sbef0 @CNS_SCN @CHILDSTUDY
Figure depicts Total dietary folate and choline intakes by prenatal vitamin and folic acid supplement users in the CHILD cohort study (18 weeks of gestation). (A) Total dietary folate intakes in women who took: a prenatal supplement but did not take a folic acid supplement (prenatal (no FA)); a prenatal supplement and a folic acid supplement (prenatal (+FA)); no prenatal supplement but took a folic acid supplement (no prenatal (+FA)); and no prenatal supplement and no folic acid supplement (prenatal (no FA)); (B) choline intake in women with supplemental folic acid intakes about the upper intake level (UL) (n = 378) (choline adequate intake (AI), 450 mg/day).

Heart disease is a known issue in adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D). But @AngelaMDevlin & @dinapana found kids with T1D are 6x more likely to have abnormal blood pressure. They are working to uncover what damages blood vessels in kids with T1D: bcchr.info/3uFLKCw #HeartMonth
