That's uncomfortable.
Susan RobbinsHOST
We already have enough issues with people with MTHFR variants or DHFR that can't convert the folic acid that they're putting into all that same stuff.
Morley RobbinsGUEST
And guess what folic acid requires?
Susan RobbinsHOST
Copper.

But DHFR genes, if you listen to this week's podcast on MTHFR myths, you'll hear about DHFR.
Susan RobbinsHOST
Because MTHFR in and of itself is a stay away from that completely of the folic acid.

Look at these things in combination.
Susan RobbinsHOST
You had the MTHFR huge plus DHFR, which the main thing there is converting the folic acid to folate.
Susan RobbinsHOST
Yeah.
