You're much better off getting all the essential nutrients from whole plant foods rather than from supplements. (i.e. Get your folate by eating lots of green vegetables which are packed with the stuff.) Also supplements do not contain the thousands of complimentary phytochemicals found in real food that are required for proper assimilation - isolated nutrients can actually cause problems (i.e. Vitamin A and beta carotene which increase risk of cancer and osteoporosis when taken in isolation in higher doses). In the book, Dr Fuhrman says that a truly responsible Mother will start eating optimal foods WAY before even getting pregnant!

Here's a link to the book at Amazon: "Disease-Proof Your Child : Feeding Kids Right". Be sure to read the reviews. I've read this and all of Dr Fuhrman's other books and his approach to health and nutrition is second to none.

Don't know what to say about the green pee! (I'd surely get a second opinion on the supplements you are taking - you should probably stop taking them soon).
