I really think that anti-supplement suggestions come from Big Pharma ultimately. Those articles tend to cluster when some legal thing is in the air, or a new drug is coming out.

Eggs are one of the highest sources of choline in the diet.

For twenty years doctors and dieticians have recommended a LOW fat diet, and for many people, this has been directly linked now to the "obesity" epidemic. (and further EFA deficiencies).

Merck who holds the patent on methylfolate, stopped selling it to OTC suppliers years ago, and held it only for RX vitamin products. The protest was very very loud. And 2 or so years ago Merck decided to sell again to the OTC trade. I guess they actually lost money! This is just one example of Big Pharma
manipulating our choices to take care of ourselves. It is estimated that 10-30% of Americans have a genetic error which prevents activating folic acid to methylfolate, and hence these people NEED methyl form in order to LIVE.
