About 50% of the US population are known to have the MTHFR gene mutation.
These people have issues breaking down folic acid and without this they have trouble with methylation. By constantly consuming more folic acid, it's as if their cup is already overflowing and never gets a chance to empty. Every absorption process that happens on a cellular level does so via methylation. Think of blood oxygen, the chemicals in the brain, hormones, and nutrients.
But don't worry, your Big Pharma doctors will sign you up for a monthly subscription of meds for each of your symptoms.
"The MTHFR SNP is common — approximately 50% of the US population carries at least one SNP. Two MTHFR genes commonly studied are C677T and A1298C (these labels indicate the mutation’s appearance and location on the gene). At each of these genes, you can have none (wild type), one (heterozygous), or two (homozygous) mutations.
The more MTHFR gene mutations you have, the less the MTHFR enzyme is able to do its job effectively. When your ability to methylate is decreased there is a greater potential for the mutation to impact your health.
"Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR), is an enzyme that works as a catalyst for important biochemical reactions in your body. It converts vitamin B9 (folate) into methyl-folate which is essential for a process called methylation".
Every single cell and tissue in your body experiences methylation.
Methylation protects your body by repairing damaged cells and optimizing DNA cell function. It also processes toxins and hormones, metabolizes B vitamins, and regulates neurotransmitters. The neurotransmitters including dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine control mood, behavior, sleep, and your overall mental health".
huh. guess I need to start worrying about folic acid in bread. who knew?

"About 50% of the US population are known to have the MTHFR gene mutation."
I read that as muthafucka gene mutation.
me too
Yeah, that ran through my head, as well. Kek.
Me 4. was still an enjoyable read.
Top kek, I have it and that's almost exactly what I call it! Have to take methyl b-12 daily.
Yeah, most do. Kek
