Women of childbearing age will soon have an easy way to identify foods that may help their unborn child. The March of Dimes, in conjunction with the Grain Foods Foundation, has started placing labels on packages of bread that contain folic acid.
Research shows only 12 percent of women of childbearing age know folic acid should be consumed before pregnancy.
Experts recommend women get 400 micrograms of folic acid every day.
