Nutritional supplements like Folic Acid have many health benefits and are being widely used by cancer patients and those at-genetic-risk of cancer. But, is it safe to take Folic Acid supplements for all types of cancer and without considering any ongoing treatments and other lifestyle conditions? A common belief but only a myth is that anything natural can only benefit me or do no harm. As one example, the use of grapefruit with certain medications is not recommended. Another example, the use of spinach with some blood thinning medications can cause adverse interactions and should be avoided. For cancer, nutrition which includes the food and natural supplements has been shown to influence outcomes. Hence a frequently asked question by cancer patients to dieticians and doctors is “What Should I eat and What Should I Avoid?”.
Taking nutritional Folic Acid supplements can benefit HRAS +ve Salivary Gland Cancer patients. But avoid Folic Acid supplements for Juvenile Myelomonocytic Leukemia. Similarly, taking nutritional supplement Folic Acid can benefit healthy individuals who are at genetic risk of cancer due to mutation of gene VHL. But avoid taking nutritional supplement Folic Acid when at genetic risk of cancer due to mutation of gene MAX.
The takeaway being – your individual context will influence your decision if nutritional supplement Folic Acid is safe or not. And also that this decision needs to be constantly revisited as conditions change. Conditions like cancer type, current ongoing treatments and supplements, age, gender, weight, height, lifestyle and any genetic mutations identified matter. So a legitimate question for you to ask for any recommendation of food and natural supplement is how it is related to your individual context.
