> Actually, this is a bit misleading. Although taking 53 1,000 mcg folic acid tablets may result in 7.5 mg of l-methylfolate (one Deplin tablet) the opposite is not true ... l-methylfolate is not converted to folic acid. So, you could take 1000 Deplin tables yet not 1 mg of folic acid would be produced. This is significant because folic acid and l-methylfolate have different effects and it could be that the increased colon cancer rates are due to folic acid and not l-methylfolate.Thank you so much for posting that. It's the point I was hoping to make, and you did a much better job than I could have.
Good job on that explanation. Thank you for it.
