Grain fortification of flour with folic acid has successfully reduced neural tube defects (NTDs) by approximately one half of the pre-fortification rate. The knowledge that the use of multivitamins with folic acid has also been shown to reduce some birth defects has prompted interest in determining whether folic acid may also play a role in the prevention of non-neural tube defects. Although NTDs are not more frequent in the Inuit of the Eastern Arctic, septal heart defects, were documented pre-fortification (1989-1994) to be increased 4 fold.
