"Daily folic acid supplementation may increase the risk of prostate cancer, a secondary analysis of a randomized trial revealed.Think again.

Fitness Watch is your site for making sense of fitness advice.
"Truth" has a shelf life.
The shelf life of "truth" is very short in the domains of fitness, health and well-being.

At Fitness Watch we separate fitness information from fitness noise.
