Pathwaymap.com is my attempt at connecting my understanding with the data available. I am trying to keep my bias out of what I write on this site. But this actually introduces a problem I am still trying to solve. Some of the data refers to folic acid or methylfolate, and I do not agree with either, but there is more to this story that requires explaining. This is just one example.
