and particularly green vegetables, which represent circa 40% of
the folate intake in the French diet . In France, authorities
recommend an intake of folate from 300 lg per day for
women to 330 lg per day for men, with an increase to 1 mg per
day during pregnancy . However, there is a gap between
the real and the recommended intake from around 20% for
women to 15% for men ).
