Hi,

I am homozygous for MTHFR and consequently have been taking folic acid for many years. Recently the Prof of Metabolic Medicine that I saw, told me to stop taking it because new research has found that it can cause an increased risk of cancers, specifically bowel cancer.

Just thought I'd pass that on.
