## Abstract ## BACKGROUND: Animal studies demonstrate teratogenic effects of caffeine, whereas human studies are inconclusive. ## METHODS: Associations between maternal caffeine consumption and neural tube defects (NTDs) by type of NTD (anencephaly, spina bifida, or encephalocele) were examined
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND: This study investigated the association of neural tube defects (NTDs) with maternal periconceptional intake of folic acidβcontaining supplements and dietary nutrients, including folate, among deliveries that occurred after folic acid fortification in selected California
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND: Investigations of maternal caffeine intake and neural tube defects (NTDs) have not considered genetic influences. Caffeine metabolism gene effects were examined in the National Birth Defects Prevention Study. ## METHODS: Average daily caffeine was summed from selfβrepo
BACKGROUND: Periconceptional intake of nutrients in addition to folic acid may contribute to neural tube defect (NTD) etiologies; a likely candidate is myo-inositol. We investigated whether maternal periconceptional dietary intake of myo-inositol influenced NTD risk. METHODS: Data were derived from
