By Keith D. Bishop, Clinical Nutritionist, B.Sc. Pharmacy - October 24, 2009
The breast cancer prevention effect of very high folate intake was even more pronounced when researchers focused on
estrogen receptor negative ( ER- ) tumors.
This research appears to indicate that high intake of folate may be protective against breast cancer, especially
ER- tumors.

Folate is a water soluble B vitamin found in beans, leafy green vegetables, citrus fruits, beets, wheat germ, and
meat. Food processing, cooking, light and oxygen destroy folate in food.
Folate deficiencies are common. Symptoms of folate deficiency include headache, fatigue, hair loss, insomnia, birth
defects, cervical dysplasia, and elevated homocysteine.
Low levels of folate increase the risk of cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, alcoholism, atherosclerosis, birth defects,
cervical dysplasia, cognitive enhancement, depression, gingivitis.
Synthetic folic acid in supplements and enriched food appears to be stronger than dietary folate. Synthetic folic
acid may increase the risk of colon cancer and colorectal cancer.

A group of 35,023 women aged 50 to 76 years of age
participated in the Vitamins and Lifestyle (VITAL) study. Between the years of 2000 and 2006 743 women were
diagnosed with invasive breast cancer. The women who consumed the highest amount of dietary folate over a
10-year period had a 22 percent decrease in breast cancer compared the women with low dietary folate
intake.
