Folate and B6 Are Used To Fight Colorectal Cancer

If you want to prevent a reoccurrence of colorectal polyps, then make sure you are taking 400 mcg of folate and 2 mg of B6 each day. Researchers at UCLA found in a study of 1,000 people that this was the amount necessary to turn folate into a cancer fighting machine. People in the study who were taking these amounts had a 39% lower chance of having polyps reoccur. So…even if you have never had polyps, include folate and B6 in your diet as it may prevent you from getting them.
