In the 1920s, scientists believed folate deficiency and anemia were the same condition. In 1931, researcher [[Lucy Wills]] made a key observation that led to the identification of folate as the nutrient required to prevent [[anemia]] during pregnancy. Wills demonstrated that anemia could be reversed with [[brewer's yeast]]. In the late 1930s, folate was identified as the corrective substance in brewer's yeast. It was first isolated via extraction from [[spinach]] leaves by [[Herschel K. Mitchell]], [[Esmond E. Snell]], and [[Roger J. Williams]] in 1941. The term "folic" is from the Latin word {{lang|la|[[Wiktionary:folium|folium]]}} (which means leaf) because it was found in dark-green leafy vegetables. Historic names included ''[[L. casei|L.&nbsp;casei]]'' factor, vitamin B<sub>c</sub> after research done in chicks and vitamin M after research done in monkeys.</div>FuzzyBot
