Self Magazine reports that foods rich in folate may reduce your risk of pancreatic cancer by 60% in women with normal weight. The study with these wonderful findings was published in the journal Cancer Research. An important note is that only folate-rich foods helped reduce the risk. Folate supplements were actually found to raise the risk of pancreatic cancer.
Its always a good idea to reach for natural foods to get the nutrition your body needs. Some foods high in folate include: spinach, lentils, chickpeas, asparagus, breakfast cereals, romaine lettuce, broccoli, and greens.
