We have a problem. When discussing vitamin B9,\\xa0common\\xa0parlance is to use \\u201cfolic acid\\u201d and \\u201cfolate\\u201d interchangeably, as if the two are different terms for the same thing. Talk to most OB-GYNs about the type of vitamin B9 in your prenatal, and they\\u2019ll say the difference doesn\\u2019t matter. Look at\\xa0the average nutrition label, and it\\u2019ll list folic acid rather than folate, even though it\\u2019s naturally occurring.\\xa0They are not the same. The difference is meaningful.\\xa0
