Guest guest Posted October 10, 2002 Report Share Posted October 10, 2002 Folate, or folic acid, is used by the body to regulate cell growth. Research shows folate may prevent birth defects, reduce the risks of cervical or colon cancer, and may decrease the incidence of heart disease in those individuals consuming adequate amounts. Dark green leafy vegetables, legumes, orange juice, wheat germ, fortified grains and cereals are excellent sources. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
