I look forward to reading the re-write! That first link takes me to an article that seems to clearly link the mutated gene’s dysfunction with repeated miscarriage and repeated implantation failure. It says nothing at all about folic acid supplementation, one way or another. The second link takes me to a “page no longer found” error.

I typed them in because I have the PDF on my phone. Once the rewrite is done I'll make sure you know. The two studies together show that people like me cannot consume or process folic acid properly. Indeed it causes further and dire issues. 30-50% of the US population have this genetic mutation. Therefore IMHO it is irresponsible for the FDA to require folic acid supplementation without providing genetic testing. If our health care included genetic testing, this would be a non-issue because all citizens would have equitable access to the supplementation which best supports their body. Again, IMHO.
