Folic acid supplementation has also been shown to be very beneficial to women going to be or who are pregnant

Its also some debate/non-conclusive reserach on B9 (folic acid), that it helps soften coronary artery walls and thus reducing risks of bloodclots/stroke.

So just eat strawberries, they are rich in folic acid

This is a good question. Maybe because it is found in woman more than men, but still you think there would be more studies about breast cancer in men.

Well it is very rare in men, thats one thing. Another thing is that treatment with substances like tamoxifen citrate, has shown to yield promising results, in conjunction with cemotherapy etc.
