DOSAGE
The term "multivitamin" refers to a supplement that contains the essential vitamins and minerals. Look for a formula that contains a wide blend of vitamins and minerals. Ask your natural healthcare provider or pharmacist to recommend a high-quality product. | Gale Maleskey See book keywords and concepts | There's evidence, however, that we get the best anti-cancer benefits if we take more than the DV.
Taking a multivitamin that contains folic acid is a good policy, says Dr. Giovannucci. You can also enhance your daily diet with folate-rich foods. Among the best are broccoli, pinto and navy beans, chickpeas, spinach, sunflower seeds, and fortified breakfast cereals.

If you are taking prescribed medication, consult with the practitioner before attempting the above plan. | Carol Simontacchi See book keywords and concepts | Is aspartame safe?
• Does aspartame assist in weight loss?

Aspartame was discovered in 1965 by a chemist from the G. D. Searle company, which is now a subsidiary of Monsanto, the largest biotechnology company in the world. It was thought that the perfect sweetener had been found. |
