B-9: You sank my cancer risk
According to an Italian study, from which results were published in past issue of the journal CANCER, folic acid supplements may prevent cancer progression and promote regression of the disease.
Researchers found that 31 of 43 patients with the precancerous laryngeal lesion known as leucoplakia showed a 50 percent or greater reduction in the size of the lesion after taking folate supplements for six months. And, for the remaining 12 patients, they amazingly did not show any sign of the original lesion after the six month period.
Folate is sometimes more widely known as vitamin B-9, which is found in abundance in fruits and vegetables, as well as several types of beans. Plus, many multi-vitamins offer close to the recommended daily value of folate.
