UTMB's Dr. Radek Bukowski is featured in this report about his recent study that found that women who took folic acid supplements before becoming pregnant had a lower risk of having a preterm birth than women who did not take supplements regularly. "The reduction was really huge. It was 70 percent lower risk of delivering between 20 and 28 weeks - this is the very premature babies, the ones who have most of the problems. And they're the ones who ... likely not survive."
