Only for moms with epilepsy? Or avoiding high doses of folate for all moms a good idea?

[ConservativeMind]

The way I read it is that some medicines, such as anti-epileptic drugs, interfere with folic acid conversion into active folate.

This makes it seem hazardous to have the folic acid form of folate in such high amounts, in a situation in which it can't either be converted or utilized as active folate, instead, left floating around in the bodies of the mother and fetus, potentially for months.

It again drives home that the folic acid form of folate has “issues.”
