Publisher's summary

If you've been following the health and wellness scene at all in recent years, you've likely heard about MTHFR, even if you've never heard of the gene by that name.

MTHFR is an abbreviation for methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase, an enzyme that plays a key role in converting folic acid into folinic acid and methionine, two chemicals used throughout the body. Folic acid is the synthetic form of folate, which is naturally found in foods.

While you can't control whether or not you inherited this gene mutation, it's still important to know about it. A lack of enzymes can be associated with various diseases and disorders such as cancer, vascular disease, and many more. If your MTHFR gene is defective, it can cause a variety of health problems.

A recent study published in the journal Nutrients found that people with MTHFR gene defects are more likely to have problems with obesity, insulin resistance, and fatty liver disease. The study authors suggest that people with MTHFR gene defects might benefit from a diet that is lower in sugar and saturated fat and higher in fiber.

Luckily, there are ways to work around these problems. One of the most popular methods is to follow a special MTHFR diet.

This diet focuses on eating foods that are high in folate and other nutrients that support MTHFR function. It also recommends avoiding foods that can interfere with folate absorption, such as sugar and saturated fat.

Simplistic introduction to living with the two most researched MTHFR gene variants

The virtual voice is surprisingly more pleasant than those of many human narrators, with only a few mispronunciations or odd timing breaks.
The diet advice is nice. Though scanty in number, recipes are mostly appealing. The recipes are the reason affected persons should add this book to their cookbook collection - rather than to a shelf of rigorous factual medical information.
More specific, detailed listings of naturally occurring folate-rich foods to consume would be preferable than vague references such as green leafy vegetables and citrus fruits. It provides more friendly encouragement to make healthy lifestyle modifications than anything.
The overview of medical conditions associated with the two best understood MTGFR gene mutations seems incomplete...
Unfortunately, this book contains little to no explanation on the necessity of avoiding all "enriched" wheat products made in America being due to 1980's federal legislation mandating addition of artificial "folic acid" to all wheat - except for the small amount certified as "organic." Potential for toxicity in persons whose bodies can't adequately process synthetic folic acid is only alluded to.

NO PDF

This book has lots of references to lists and recipes and there is no PDF. So, as an audible book it is useless!!!
