<u>The leafy greens are high in folate</u>, a B vitamin that supports heart health and aids in the prevention of some birth disorders. Folate is also required for DNA duplication and repairing, which helps to prevent the development of cancer. Several major studies have found that high folate intakes may reduce the risk of colon polyps by 30 to 40% when compared to low folate intakes. Other evidence shows that low-folate diets may raise the risk of breast, cervical, and lung cancer.
