Women may be able to cut their risk of heart disease in half by taking three to four times the recommended daily allowance of two vitamins: folate and B-6.
(----------------)
[VO-NAT]
Folate is found in cereals, orange juice, lettuce, eggs, broccoli and spinach.
And vitamin B6 food sources include beef, cold breakfast cereal, potatoes, bananas, chicken, milk and tuna.
But in order to get four times the R-D-A a person would have to eat enormous quantities of the foods -- like 66 eggs and 21 glasses of orange juice.
