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. If you continue following my content you will likely hear me explain these various details along the way.

This is all about what you think, and I am attempting to provide you with better tools to figure out what to think.
