A large U S nursing study shows women with high folate intake from food or multivitamins for at least 15 years had about 75 percent lower risk of colon cancer. Folate sources include leafy greens, spinach, broccoli, romaine, oranges, fortified cereals, with multivitamins typically providing 400 micrograms. Researchers caution not to rely on pills alone without lifestyle factors.
