TL;DR: Data support an association between low levels of serum vitamin E and the risk of any type of lung cancer and between low Levels of serum beta-carotene and therisk of squamous-cell carcinoma of the lung.

Effect of food fortification on folic acid intake in the United States
TL;DR: Typical intakes of folic acid from fortified foods are more than twice the level originally predicted, and the effect of this much higher level of fortification must be carefully assessed, especially before calls for higher levels of fortify are considered.

B6-responsive disorders: a model of vitamin dependency.
TL;DR: Pyridoxal phosphate is the cofactor for over 100 enzyme-catalysed reactions in the body, including many involved in the synthesis or catabolism of neurotransmitters, and in other infants with inborn errors of metabolism B6 treatment can be extremely beneficial.
