A member asked:
What happens if you have an abnormally high b12 level and high folate (folic acid) level?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
High B12 Folate (folic acid): I understand your concern. Researchers in Denmark have found that higher than normal levels of B12 may indicate a person is at risk of developing Lung, Colon and Liver cancer. National Institute Health Research stated-High folate (folic acid) does not appear to increase the risk of anemia among healthy people with low B12 levels See your physician for evaluation tests and treatment
