The Bad Foods for MTHFR List
Folic acid and added folate
All foods (including supplements) that contain "folic acid" or have added "folate", these are man made substitutes for the real folate that is found in leafy greens. Those with MTHFR must avoid these added folates and folic acids which prevent their natural folate metabolism from working properly. You can read more about the difference between folate and folic acid here.

Now, I know what your thinking or at least most people see this list and think, that looks like a good list of healthy foods and it is. The point is that all of these foods are high in substances that are known powerful enzyme & metabolic inhibitors, the consequences of which means reduced ATP or your energy production is reduced. This also means you also make fewer amino acids and can't make as much protein as you should. This leads to lower immunity by reducing glutathione which is one of the bodies most important antioxidants involved in the homocysteine cycle.
