I recall Dr Ben Lynch (MTHFR.net fame) recommending the avoidance of folic acid in various forms for those with certain polymorphism's such as the common MTHFR677T and A1298C as it results in unmetabolised folate promoting carcinogens as it lingers in the body.
Where do vegetables stand in this regard? I've poured over this forum to try and find a clear answer and cannot to date. lotus97 raised it... DBKita provided an explanation which did seem to gel with something I'd read or seen on that MTHFR.net video but can't find a definitive response.
As someone whose got CYP1A2 and CYP2D6 polymorphisms on the detox panel I have an interest in continuing to take in large amouunts of cruciferous vegetables to promote the activity of these underfunctioning genes, however I don't want to find that I'm introducing a collection of folates that are competing with and rendering useless the expensive 5MTHF I'm supplementing....
If anyone could provide clarity on this issue I'd be grateful....
