Just a quick post to note that, after Holford Watch advice, Health Products for Life have added a warning to the description of their folic acid pills. The new warning reads that “Folic Acid is recommended to be taken alongside a B complex or multivitamin providing 10mcg or more of B12. This is because folic acid can mask the symptonms [sic] of B12 deficiency. The elderly may need more than this level – best determined by a homocysteine or B12 blood test.”
While I still have a number of concerns about Health Products for Life, clearly this additional warning is something to welcome. I’m grateful to Patrick Holford for putting this warning in place.

Just found your blog today from a comment you made on Orac’s (Respectful Insolence) site. I’ve read several of your posts and I’ve got to say I like where you’re coming from.
The previous post on chelation was excellent!
I’m adding you to my blogroll! Hope you don’t mind the heading I’m giving you.

thanks for the generous comments.
And Dean, thanks for the link (I really need to get the blogroll here better organised). The heading is fine – I was a bit nervous when you mentioned that, as I wasn’t quite sure what I’d see the blog listed under (big pharma shill, maybe?) but the heading you’ve chosen is absolutely fine :D
Good. Didn’t think you’d mind, but some poeple have a preference for how they’re listed.
