Folic Acid and Alcohol: What Women Need to Know with Monica Reinagel

The best thing you can do for your liver is to give it less to detoxify, whether that's alcohol or other toxins that the liver has to deal with, far more effective than taking some sort of nutritional supplement that's supposed to improve detoxification.
Ever thought about how your drinking habits might affect your health in ways you hadn't considered? In this episode of 'The Alcohol Minimalist Podcast', Molly Watts welcomes back nutrition expert Monica Reinagel to tackle a pressing question: Should women who drink more than seven standard drinks a week be taking folic acid to reduce their breast cancer risk? The conversation dives deep into the science behind this recommendation, examining whether it's backed by solid research or just another health myth.
Monica breaks down the origins of this advice and discusses the potential benefits and risks of folic acid supplementation. She also highlights the importance of getting enough folate from whole foods and the dangers of high doses of folic acid. This episode is a must-listen for anyone curious about the intersection of nutrition and alcohol consumption. It's packed with valuable information that can help you make more informed choices about your health.
