Show Notes
California becomes first state to mandate folic acid in corn masa flour, aiming to reduce neural tube defects in Hispanic babies. The move, starting in January, follows the story of Andrea Lopez, who lost her son to such a defect. With Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Oklahoma, and Oregon following suit, and four more states showing interest, the initiative is hailed as a small step with significant impact, ensuring unplanned pregnancies are better protected.
