Whoops--just realized I have a typo on the post on this topic. The following sentence was incorrect. It should read: "There is also evidence that this nutrient, along [not "alone"] with B6 and B12, lowers blood levels of homocysteine, an amino acid associated with an increased risk of heart disease."
