I'm concerned about this since I'm BHMT08 rs651852 +/+, Nutrahacker points this gene Methylates homocysteine to methionine, so I think I have less methionine, leading to more susceptibility to folate trap

"Since homocysteine is derived entirely from methionine, methionine deficiency will cause intracellular folate deficiency, and the rate of mitosis of rapidly dividing cells will be reduced. although these two processes have evolved as a response to methionine deficiency, they also occur in B12 deficiency, which the cell mistakenly interprets as lack of methionine. the resulting response is inappropriate and gives rise to a potentially lethal anaemia."
