Butternut squash also contains potassium – helpful in lowering blood pressure, vitamin C – also with powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, folic acid (folate) – preventing certain birth defects if taken by pregnant woman as well as lowering homocysteine levels therefore reducing the risk of heart attack and stroke and fiber which reduces the risk of colon cancer and essential to good health.
